President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukraine’s proposal for a ceasefire lasting at least 30 days remains in effect, but russia is not responding to it and continues its shelling. He said this in his evening address on May 7.
“We are not withdrawing this proposal, which could give diplomacy a chance. But the world sees no response from russia — no response other than new strikes”, - Zelensky emphasized.
The President noted that such behavior clearly demonstrates who the source of the war is, and stressed that russia’s aggression must end, and its defeat is only a matter of time. According to him, sanctions against the russian federation will continue to grow, and international justice, despite its slow pace, is inevitable.
“Sanctions against russia for this war will increase, and these are tangible sanctions. The justice of the world will also work — in many ways, unfortunately, slowly, but, importantly, inevitably”, - Zelensky noted.
