Summary
Zelensky told Ukrainian diplomats that Kyiv wants peace and has "never wanted this war — not for a single day."
Russia is instead doing everything possible to prolong the fighting and inflict maximum damage on human life, he said, framing Moscow as the obstacle to any settlement.
Washington and Beijing can make Moscow want peace when it refuses on its own, Zelensky added, pointing to the United States and China as key outside powers with leverage over the Kremlin.
