President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky does not consider it possible to freeze the war amid the difficult situation at the front. He said this in an interview with Fox News.

"We don't want to repeat the Minsk agreements, but for a different part of our territory. No new frozen conflicts. We don't believe in that. And I don't trust him (Putin)," the president said.

At the same time, he allowed negotiations with Russia in the future, "when we are ready."

"As for the negotiating table, when we are prepared, when there is a document based on our peace formula, our main document, and when we have support for peace, then we will be able to look for ways to talk to representatives of Russia," Zelensky said.

As a reminder, the Ukrainian peace plan provides for the complete withdrawal of Russian troops to the 1991 borders and the payment of reparations to Ukraine. 


Zelensky also said that Ukraine still counts on anti-war protests in Russia. The president believes that Putin's position could be shaken if "there will be many victims." 


"His position will be weaker if, with more and more victims, people in Russia see the doubts that will be against this war. This wave is what we need," Zelensky said.
