After the ceasefire, Ukraine will have a very short window of opportunity to complete the war – Zelensky

He stated this in an interview with Time.

“Since 2014, they have constantly violated peace. That’s how I see it. They will break it constantly. That is why the window window is very short between the ceasefire and the moment when we reach an agreement to end the war. It should be a very short period. One month, two, three, and all, ”the President said.

Zelensky noted that there will be an important moral condition of the military, as Ukraine has 800,000 armed people. He also stressed that the issue is not only in finance, because in the absence of a war agreement, the conflict could go into a frozen phase.

“And we cannot simply continue to live in a state of war. We need to open the borders. We need to liberalize many things. And we can do it if we sign an agreement. If the period between the termination of fire and the agreement is short, then we can see only a few violations here and there. It will not be a complete collapse. But if the process is delayed, then everything will fall apart many times. And we do not know what it will end, ”he added.

It should be noted that this interview was recorded in negotiations between delegations of Ukraine, the United States and Russia in Saudi Arabia. Its complete decryption was published on Wednesday, March 25.
