Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that he is not willing to discuss peace, emphasising that time is not on Kyiv’s side.

This was confirmed by U.S. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz on Monday.

“Success looks like President Zelenskyy sitting down and discussing the terms of peace, including what Ukraine needs to see to reach a partial ceasefire, a permanent ceasefire, and ultimately end this war.

“What became so evident to us in that session on Friday was that he’s not ready to talk peace at all.

“But here’s the problem—time is not on his side,” he added in an interview with Fox News.
