“Very dangerous statements have now been made from russia, which are clearly aimed at undermining all the achievements of our joint work with President Trump’s team. We are working together to bring peace closer. Now the russians have come up with an obviously fake story about an alleged Ukrainian strike on some residence of the russian dictator, so that they would have justification to continue strikes on Ukraine, in particular on Kyiv, as well as to refuse to take the necessary steps to end the war. Typical lying tactics of the russians. Especially considering that they have already struck Kyiv, including the building of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine”, - President Zelensky said on social media on December 29.
According to him, Ukraine is not taking steps that could weaken diplomacy.
“Russia always takes such steps. This is one of the many things that distinguishes us. It is important that the world does not remain silent now and that the russians do not derail the movement toward peace”, - Zelensky noted.
