"We are at critical moment now. There is lot of noise in media and political pressure," Zelenskyy says
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine will continue working with the United States on a peace plan.
The head of state said this in an address to participants of the Fourth Parliamentary Summit of the International Crimea Platform, Censor.NET reports.
"We are at a critical moment now. We are working very closely with the United States, our European partners and many others to determine the steps that could allow us to end Russia’s war against Ukraine," the president stressed.
Commenting on the "peace plan," Zelenskyy said there is a lot of noise in the media, as well as political pressure.
"We will keep working with our partners, especially the United States, looking for compromises that strengthen us rather than weaken us. And we will continue to explain how dangerous it is to pretend that aggression can be ignored, as if everything has somehow been ‘defeated’ on its own," the head of state added.
