Zelensky: Ceasefire along front line is fastest way to end war

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the fastest way to end the hot phase of the war is a ceasefire along the current front line and a transition to diplomatic talks, as full peace negotiations could take months or years. In an interview with Danish outlet DR Nyheder, Zelensky explained that after a ceasefire, parties could discuss complex settlement issues, including monitoring, demilitarization, European partners' involvement, and reconstruction, while stopping casualties immediately. Zelensky argued that Putin's demand for a comprehensive peace plan before halting hostilities indicates reluctance to end the war. Tripartite talks between Ukraine, the US, and Russia began in Abu Dhabi on November 10.
