But Russia constantly rejects such initiatives and manipulates the world community, trying to deceive, in particular, the United States. According to Zelensky:
“Now, again, the next attempt to manipulate: for some reason everyone should wait on May 8 and only then cease to fire to provide Putin with silence during the parade. We value people's lives, not parades. That is why we believe – the world believes that there is no reason to wait on May 8. And the fire should not be stopped for several days to then kill. Immediately and unconditional ceasefire – and at least 30 days to be guaranteed to be guaranteed to be guaranteed to be guaranteed to be guaranteed to be guaranteed to be guaranteed to be guaranteed. And reliable, is what can give the basis of real diplomacy. “
