Zelensky: Ukraine Is Ready to Stop the War as Soon as Possible
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky repeated his proposal to freeze the war along the current front line and described the occupied territories in percentages. He said Ukraine is ready to end the fighting as quickly as possible.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on 24 October that his country is ready to stop the war as soon as possible. Russia started the war with its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Zelensky framed his offer as freezing the conflict along the current front line.
He has put forward this idea before, and he repeated it now. When speaking about the occupied territories, the president described them in percentage terms, meaning as a share of Ukraine's territory.
The source text available for this report does not give the specific percentage figures, so they are not reproduced here. It also does not say on what occasion the remarks were made or whom they were addressed to.
A freeze along the front line would mean that hostilities stop at the positions held now, and neither side would keep trying to change the lines of control by force. Zelensky's statement shows that Kyiv continues to present this approach as its route to a ceasefire.
