“Everyone in the world knows how the Kremlin uses pauses in the war to continue with renewed vigour. But to end the war quickly, something else is needed. It is necessary for the citizens of Russia to find the courage to free themselves from the shameful fear of a man in the Kremlin for at least 36 hours during the Christmas period,” the Ukrainian president said.

Zelensky stressed that Ukraine wants a lasting peace and has made similar proposals in the past.
– Today I would like to remind the citizens of Russia of one thing. On November 15, the Ukrainian peace formula was offered. One of its provisions provides for the withdrawal of Russian occupation troops from our territory. “This is a guaranteed and reliable way to stop fires, casualties and war in general,” Zelensky emphasized.
The number of Russian soldiers killed that day was 82,000. Several days later, on December 12, Russia received a proposal to begin implementing the peace formula by withdrawing the occupying forces on Christmas Day. That day, the number of Russian soldiers killed rose to nearly 95,000.
“Both of our proposals have not been openly heard by the leaders of your country. As you can see, they are deep and inaudible,” Zelensky said of Ukrainian efforts in recent weeks, to which Moscow has turned a deaf ear.
“Now Russia has already lost 110,000 of its soldiers killed in this war,” he added.
The Ukrainian leader questioned the honest intentions of the Russian regime.
“Those who reject our offers to stop the Russian occupation, who continue to terrorize our country and send all these people to slaughter, certainly do not value life and seek peace,” he said.
“Though your missiles and drones do not rain down on our cities, terrorism continues in the occupied territories. You do not give Ukrainians a moment’s respite. People are abused, electrocuted, raped. This will continue every day as long as your soldiers are on our soil,” Zelensky said.
The President of Ukraine has clearly indicated when permanent peace will come.
“The war will end when your soldiers leave or we expel them,” the Ukrainian president said, referring to the withdrawal beyond the borders of the 1991 Ukrainian state.
