Thus, he has claimed a “prohibition of missile use, long -range drones and air pumps” and “a real guarantee of normal navigation.”
“Ukraine is willing to go through the road to peaceand it is Ukraine who has wanted peace since the first second of this war. The task is to force Russia to stop war“, concludes Zelenski, which the eve has already proposed before the European Council a Air and Maritime Truce accompanied by the liberation of prisoners of war of both sides as first measures to move towards peace.
