“[Ukrainian] President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of ‘trying to buy time’ to ‘continue war.’ ‘It is obvious that Russia is trying to buy time in order to continue its war and occupation,’ Zelenskyy said in a post on social media on Tuesday, Agence France-Presse reports. Meanwhile, Reuters reported that Zelenskyy said Ukraine had no doubt the war must end at the negotiating table, but there must be clear and realistic proposals on the table, and called for more international sanctions pressure on Russia. He said he had spoken to Finnish President Alexander Stubb and that he would speak to more allies later on Tuesday.” (05/20/25)
