Zelenskyy hits out at ceasefire proposal
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has rejected calls for a ceasefire put forward by some leaders, arguing that a temporary halt in fighting would only benefit Russia and that measures are needed to prevent further escalation of the conflict.
At a recent summit, Volodymyr Zelenskyy dismissed the idea of a ceasefire, stating: "A ceasefire is proposed, for instance, by a leader who opposes Ukraine's integration into NATO. Imagine... it’s absurd and divisive."
This statement comes as Ukraine, for the first time this week, targeted North Korean soldiers sent to Russia.
According to a high-ranking U.S. official speaking anonymously to the New York Times, Kim Jong Un's troops have already suffered heavy casualties.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden has promised to continue supporting Ukraine militarily and financially during the final two months of his term before leaving the White House.
