Zelensky, 'it emerged in Abu Dhabi that Putin does not want a ceasefire'

President Volodymyr Zelensky said Vladimir Putin does not personally support the establishment of a ceasefire. He stated this during an interview with journalists, reported by Ukrinform, summarizing the results of the talks in Abu Dhabi.

"Regarding the proposal for an energy ceasefire: the Russians don't want it. At the Abu Dhabi meeting, the Russian delegation said that they do not have the mandate to resolve the issue, but we also find some reluctance. As with any other ceasefire, it was not discussed in detail, because the Russians said: 'Solve it with Putin,'" Zelensky said.

He noted that the Ukrainian team had proposed holding a meeting between the leaders of Ukraine and Russia, but it was decided instead that "the American team would fly to Putin to talk about it." "For now, this is how things are. Putin personally does not support the ceasefire," the president said.
