Zelensky Says Russia Shows No Willingness to End War

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on 15 August there are “no signals” from Russia that it is willing to halt its military campaign, underscoring the stalemate in efforts to end the conflict that began in February 2022. Zelensky’s remarks come as diplomatic channels remain largely frozen, with neither side publicly outlining a path toward negotiations or a cease-fire. The Ukrainian leader has repeatedly insisted that any settlement must respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity, while the Kremlin continues to press its battlefield objectives.
