President Zelensky’s chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, said that Ukraine will take a ceasefire agreement into consideration only if it’ll serve as a means of ending the war and removing Russian troops from Ukraine.

He stressed that his country is not interested in a suspension of hostilities to merely freeze the conflict.

‘This is not Ukraine’s plan. We’re interested in winning the war and this will surely happen,’ Yermak added as quoted by PAP.
