Putin afraid to directly tell #Trump he wants to continue war. That’s why #Moscow demands such preconditions for #ceasefire that will make it impossible or postpone it as long as possible,” Zelensky said.

#Putin said he was ready to agree to proposal but demands guarantees Kyiv will not mobilize, train troops, nor receive military aid during it

Zelensky described Putin’s response as “Russian manipulations.”

Brits leaflets are outraged that #Russia "dares" to set its own conditions for the signing of #Ceasefire.

Someone needs to explain it to them one way or another.
