Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Russia must understand that there is no alternative to peace and must start looking for it.
"Everyone can see that the only obstacle to efforts to restore peace is the unpreparedness of the Russian Federation to take real action, to have real negotiations aimed at restoring peace. Russia does not want peace. It wants nothing but war," Zelensky said at a joint briefing in Kyiv with Scholz, Macron, Draghi and Johannis.
According to him, Russian troops are currently continuing a brutal offensive in the Donbas, are strengthening their grouping in the Kharkiv region, and are strengthening bridgeheads in southern Ukraine.
"The aggressor state must understand that peace has no alternatives and must start looking for peace," he said, noting that instead Russia continues to look for new ways to intimidate Europe and seize more Ukrainian land.
