On May 11, 2025, Volodymyr Zelensky stated on his Telegram channel that he supports a complete end to hostilities with the aggressor state in order to stop the loss of life.

“There’s no point in prolonging the killings. I will be waiting for Putin in Turkey on Thursday. In person. I hope that this time the Russians won’t look for excuses why they can’t come,” Zelensky wrote, emphasizing that he expects a “full and lasting ceasefire” starting May 12.

Earlier, the UOJ reported that Zelensky told the Vatican it is unacceptable to impose peace terms on Ukraine.
