Zelenskyy says won’t play Putin’s
‘games’ with short truce
The Ukrainian president says he and Trump agree that a 30-day ceasefire is the correct first step towards ending the war.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has accused Vladimir Putin of “playing games” after the Russian leader proposed a three-day unilateral ceasefire to coincide with Moscow’s Victory Day commemorations.
“This is more of a theatrical performance on his part. Because in two or three days, it is impossible to develop a plan for the next steps to end the war,” Zelenskyy told a small group of journalists on Friday, in remarks embargoed until Saturday.
