🇺🇦 Zelensky: Now, after Easter, the whole world sees the real problem – the real reason why the fighting continues. It is Russia that is the source of the war. It is from Moscow that a real order to the Russian army to cease fire should come, and if there is no such strict Russian order to be quiet – there is no quiet either.
Indeed, there were no air raids on Easter and there were some sections of the front with silence. So, this is possible – possible, when it is Russia that is going to reduce the killings. Nevertheless, Ukraine maintains its offer not to strike at least at civilian infrastructure. And we expect a clear answer from Moscow. We are ready for any conversation on how to ensure this.
There is an obvious, simplest and most reliable way, namely: to stop the strikes of missiles and long-range drones, and this will automatically guarantee the preservation of all civilian infrastructure. It is a ceasefire – a real, lasting one – that should be the first step towards a reliable and lasting peace.
