Ukrainian President Zelenskyy urged greater pressure on Russia to implement a ceasefire, claiming it could happen at any moment. He emphasized that without increased pressure, Russia will not take significant steps to end the war.
During a joint press conference in Prague with Czech President Petr Pavel, Zelenskyy expressed concerns about Russia's reluctance to engage in meaningful peace efforts. He pointed out that Russia had ignored proposals for a full ceasefire, including a U.S. initiative, for over 50 days. Zelenskyy stressed that a ceasefire lasting at least 30 days would provide diplomacy with a real chance to make progress.
Putin recently announced a short, three-day ceasefire over May 8-10 to commemorate the victory over Nazi Germany in World War Two, but Zelenskyy dismissed it as insufficient, insisting on a longer and unconditional ceasefire.
Zelenskyy also outlined three key actions to end the war: increased sanctions on Russia, continued support for Ukraine, and enhanced defence cooperation within Europe. He warned that Russia must understand that Europe is prepared to defend itself against further aggression.
Zelenskyy’s comments came amid ongoing support from the Czech Republic, which has been instrumental in supplying Ukraine with large-calibre ammunition. The Czech government’s initiative has seen the delivery of millions of rounds to Ukraine, with plans to expand further in the coming year.
During his visit, Zelenskyy praised Czech efforts in military aviation and pledged continued cooperation, including support for Ukraine's F-16 fleet. He also mentioned discussions with U.S. President Donald Trump regarding air defence and sanctions during Pope Francis' funeral.
