Truce with Russia Without Return of Territories Will Only Protract Conflict: Zelensky
A truce between Ukraine and Russia without the return of territories will only give Russia a time to rest and further continue the conflict, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal which came out on Friday, TASS reports.
"Freezing the conflict with the Russian Federation means a pause that gives the Russian Federation a break for rest. They will not use this pause to change their geopolitics or to renounce their claims on the former Soviet republics," The Wall Street Journal quoted him as saying.
According to Zelensky, following such a pause, in two or three years, Russia "will seize two more regions and say again: Freeze the conflict." "And it will keep going further and further. One hundred percent," he added.
