President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that Ukraine does not support the freezing of hostilities through the immediate introduction of a ceasefire..

At the final press conference of the Crimean Platform Summit, Zelensky, answering a question from journalists about Ukraine's interest in ending the war before winter, said:.

“In the place where we are, we are not ready for a ceasefire. We explained that there would be no Minsk-3. Or Minsk-5, Minsk-7 and the like. We won't play these games. Because it's a trap"

This will lead to the loss of the south of Ukraine captured by the invaders and the prolongation of the conflict for several years..

“Then there will be some conditions. It will be several years.

And at the same time, we will not have access to the sea, we will have nothing. And after that they will turn around in a year and go to Nikolaev, Odessa. We understand what's going on. And then they will want to return again, for example, to our capital,” Zelensky stressed..

According to him, Ukraine will not agree to such conditions in order to somehow stabilize the situation on the front line and calm the Russian Federation.. “Therefore, we want a lot by winter,” he summed up..
