For Putin, a truce would be a way to catch his breath - Zelensky on Pope's proposal
Kyiv • UNN

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is not interested in negotiations, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in response to Pope Francis' proposal to start a dialogue to resolve the conflict peacefully. The head of state said this in an interview with Le Monde and BFMTV published on March 11, UNN reports.
The example of Odesa (where Russia launched a missile strike just a few hundred meters from the President of Ukraine and the Prime Minister of Greece, Kyriakos Mitsotakis-ed.) shows that Putin is not interested in negotiations. For him, the pause is not negotiations, it is oxygen, a way to catch his breath, to take time to restore the combat capability of his army, to train his young recruits who are now entering the battle unprepared and fleeing the battlefield. And to resume production
He also noted that Ukraine is being shelled by North Korean shells and missiles. This suggests that the Russian army is running out of weapons.
