Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Vladimir Putin is not preparing for a ceasefire but is readying his troops for “new offensive operations” in Ukraine.
Zelenskyy said that reports from Ukrainian intelligence and military commanders indicate that Putin intends to present his meeting on Friday with Trump as “a personal victory .
He warned that any concessions to Russia would not persuade it to stop fighting in Ukraine.
Meanwhile Ukraine’s military spokesperson for the southern front-line sector, Vladyslav Voloshyn, says that Russia is moving some military units in the Zaporizhia region for further assaults.
