Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said taking back Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in 2014, as well as the country’s long-occupied eastern Donbas region are conditions for bringing the nine-month war to an end.
“A simple ceasefire won’t do the trick,” Zelenskiy said in a video interview at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in Singapore. “Unless we liberate our whole territory, we will not bring peace.”
