Zelensky slams ‘utter cynicism’ of Russian deadly attacks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has criticised ongoing Russian attacks and said calls for a ceasefire are being undermined by continued strikes.

Axar.az reports that in a post on his X account, Zelensky described it as “utter cynicism” to call for a ceasefire while carrying out daily missile and drone attacks.

"It is utter cynicism to ask for a ceasefire in order to hold propaganda celebrations while carrying out such missile and drone strikes every single day leading up to it," he said.

He said that Russia could stop the war “at any moment” by agreeing to a ceasefire, which would also end Ukraine’s responses.

"Russia could cease fire at any moment, and this would stop the war and our responses. Peace is needed, and real steps are needed to achieve it. Ukraine will act in kind" he added.
