Ukraine-Russia war latest: Zelensky seeks ‘airport ceasefire’ but warns Putin has ‘no intention’ of ending war
Ukraine’s foreign minister Andrii Sybiha said Europe can help the war-hit nation achieve a ceasefire with Russia – starting with each other’s airports first.
“We probably need a new role of Europe in our peace efforts. Maybe we would try to resolve or to achieve a so-called airport ceasefire,” Sybiha told Politico yesterday in Brussels.
His remarks come alongside Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia has no intention of ending its war on Ukraine, leaving Kyiv to brace for further attacks.
“Today there was no silence on the front line. Combat actions have continued,” Zelensky said in his nightly video address.
“Russia has no intention of ending this war. And we are, unfortunately, preparing for new attacks. But peace must come. That is exactly what we are working for.”
Both sides reported fighting along their long front line despite the ceasefire, and each accused the other of launching drone and artillery strikes. On Saturday, Russian leader Vladimir Putin also claimed that the conflict was coming to an end.
