Ukraine’s president has snubbed Emmanuel Macron’s call for a truce with Russia during the Olympics this summer and said the West has put his country in a “nonsense situation”.
Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday rejected the French president’s plan for a break in fighting during the Games in Paris and said such a move would hand an “advantage” to Moscow by giving it time to move around troops and artillery.
He told AFP that Ukraine and its Western allies had the “same values” but often “different views”, particularly on how to end the conflict.
“We are in a nonsense situation where the West is afraid that Russia will lose the war. And it does not want Ukraine to lose it,” Mr Zelensky said.
“Everyone wants to find some model for the war to end faster,” he said, when asked about the possibility of a scenario for ending hostilities like the one that established a dividing line on the Korean peninsula.
