According to the president, the "truce" sounds like a lifeless story to him.
"We've already had a ceasefire. But it does not work well with this enemy. In addition, there is a risk — who will record that during the ceasefire their forces will not approach us? The ceasefire doesn't prevent their equipment from moving closer and then launching an offensive. So I don't understand the details. For now, it sounds like a lifeless story to me," Zelenskyy said.
The Olympic Games will take place in Paris from July 26 to August 11. Russia and Belarus will not compete there in team sports, but Belarusian and Russian athletes will enter individual competitions in the status of "neutral".
- The idea of an Olympic truce was voiced by French President Emmanuel Macron.
