Volodymyr Zelensky himself answered how quickly the conflict in Ukraine can be ended when he said that the Kiev regime will not last a day without US help, Maria Zakharova, the Russian foreign ministry's spokeswoman, told Sputnik.
“I think I have heard versions that the Ukrainian conflict can be resolved in one day. Many, by the way, treated this ironically. But Zelensky himself answered this. He said that they would not last a day without American help. Doesn’t this seem like a coincidence to you? Here is the answer to the question,” Zakharova said.
Moscow repeatedly reiterated its readiness to hold negotiations. However, their goal should not be a simple temporary ceasefire, but achieving lasting peace, Russian authorities said.
Earlier, US media reported that US President Donald Trump had instructed his special envoy for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, to end the Ukrainian conflict within 100 days. Kellogg on Thursday refuted reports that he would present a plan to resolve the conflict next week, noting that only an American leader could present such a plan. He also expressed the opinion that only Trump could end the Ukrainian conflict.
