Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the Russian leader, Vladimir Putin, does not want peace and is signaling he intends to continue the war, according to RBC-Ukraine on December 30.
Zelenskyy made the remarks in an interview with Fox News when asked whether there were any signs Putin wanted peace after Russia intensified attacks on Kyiv toward the end of the year.

“No, to be honest. I don’t hear this publicly. He is not talking about peace. On the contrary, he says he can go further. These are not signals of peace,” Zelenskyy said.
Zelenskyy said that was why dialogue and pressure from US President Donald Trump were both needed, including sanctions and diplomatic efforts.
“He has the tools, and I believe he is trying to achieve peace,” Zelenskyy said, referring to Trump.
Zelenskyy also said Putin could not be trusted, adding, “Putin does not want Ukraine to succeed. He may say such things to President Trump, I believe he says them, but it is not true. He does not want stronger sanctions.
He can talk about ‘cheap electricity,’ but we do not need that. We have paid too high a price, with lives. We need nothing from them. This is only a message for Trump, a way of communicating.”
Earlier, it was reported that Zelenskyy said Russia’s main scenario is to keep fighting, pointing to repeated large-scale strikes on Ukrainian cities and infrastructure.
