Direct Language: “It has passed 22 days since Ukraine has expressed its willingness to accept the immediate 30-day ceasefire. The only condition of Ukraine was that Russia also agreed to it. But instead of taking this opportunity to establish peace, Russia decided to continue the fighting, which resulted in the victims.”

Details: Holland stressed that last week Russia used more than a thousand drones for attacks on Ukrainian cities.

According to him, instead of taking part in peace initiatives under the leadership of the United States, Putin continues to divert attention and delay time.

Holland emphasized that attempts to call into question the authority of President Vladimir Zelensky is only a maneuver, which should hide the main problem – Russia’s refusal to sit at the negotiating table and undertake to immediately stop the fire.

In this regard, he emphasized: “We do not see any signs” that Putin “is seriously preparing for peace.”

Recall:

• On March 11, Ukraine announced the readiness of the 30-day ceasefire regime during negotiations in Saudi Arabia, provided that Russia is also observed.
• Analysts of the Institute of War Study on March 20 reported that Putin was confusing for ceasefire, accusing Ukraine of violations of the official introduction of the agreement, although the details have not yet been agreed.
• Later, the Institute of War Study noted that the United States, Ukraine and Russia are unlikely to be able to agree on the conditions of full ceasefire within the next three weeks.
