Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy firmly ruled out a cease-fire in the ongoing conflict with Russia, expressing concern that it would allow Kremlin forces to rearm and regroup.
Zelenskyy emphasized that a pause on the Ukrainian battlefield would not halt the overall war and might disadvantage Kyiv’s forces in the long run.
