President Volodymyr Zelenskyy believes Ukraine cannot afford a 'frozen conflict' with a stalemate and that the war must end.

Zelenskyy stated that Russia must withdraw its troops from Ukrainian territory, respect Ukraine's territorial integrity, and adhere to the UN Charter for the war to be considered ended.

Denys Shmyhal and Pierre Heilbronn discussed implementation of Ukraine's reconstruction projects during a meeting in Kyiv in mid-November 2023.

If there is a stalemate and a frozen conflict, we have to honestly say that our children, or our grandchildren, will have to fight.

The stalemate is a temporary weakness. If we want to end the war, we must end it.

The Ukrainian army has recaptured about 50 percent of previously occupied territories, but the Russian group in Ukraine is three times larger than at the beginning of the aggression.

State Bureau of Investigations served a notice of suspicion to Yevhen Borysov, who was subsequently detained in Kyiv.
