President Zelensky calls ceasefire with Russia 'dangerous for Ukraine'
(Baonghean.vn) - According to RIA Novosti, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview with the publication Orda that he is not considering a ceasefire with Russia.
"Today there is a ceasefire... It is very dangerous for us" - President Zelensky shared with Orda newspaper on May 25.
According to the Ukrainian leader, Russia can "use this situation to strengthen its position".
Meanwhile, responding to Vlast news agency, President Zelensky stated that Russia's attack in Kharkov caused the country's army to suffer 8 times more human losses than Ukraine.
"Their breakthrough in Kharkov, which happened more than two weeks ago, ended with military casualties reaching an 8:1 ratio, that is, 1 Ukrainian for every 8 Russians," President Zelensky said, without providing specific evidence.
Russia has not commented on this figure.
It is very difficult for a third party to verify information provided by one side in a war, as it could be a psychological tactic.
Previously, on May 24, at a press conference in Minsk (Belarus), Russian President Vladimir Putin emphasized that Moscow is ready to continue dialogue with Kiev, but can only return to dialogue based on previously reached agreements in Turkey and Belarus, as well as taking into account the current territorial status.
In addition, President Putin pointed out that if Ukraine wants to start negotiations, its leaders must cancel the decree banning negotiations with Moscow./.
