Volodymyr Zelensky says Ukraine war would not continue if Vladimir Putin died

Moscow is not planning a “Christmas ceasefire” in Ukraine and has not received any proposals about it, top spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday, outlining the war’s trajectory through the harsh winter.

“No, no such offers have been received from anybody. This topic is not on the agenda,” the Kremlin spokesperson said on being asked if Russia has seen any proposals for a Christmas ceasefire to stop the military offensive during the holiday.

The war in Ukraine will enter its 11th month on Christmas eve for millions in the European country under Russian siege.
