"The geography and brutality of Russian strikes not just sometimes, but literally every day, every night, shows how little Putin cares about diplomacy. For several weeks now, we have seen the American proposal for an unconditional ceasefire. And almost every day, in fact, in response to this proposal is Russian drones, Russian bombs, artillery strikes, and ballistic missiles," Zelensky noted.

He emphasized that Russia’s actions deserve increased pressure on them - "deserving all tough steps that could break Russia's ability to fight and sustain this system of theirs, which seeks nothing but war."
