Summary
Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he would accept freezing the current battle lines as a ceasefire, calling it the minimum needed now to stop the war.
75% or more of Ukraine would remain under Kyiv’s control under the scenario raised in the interview, after which Zelenskyy said he would seek U.S. and European security guarantees.
9.5 million displaced Ukrainians need conditions to return home and rebuild, he said, arguing that continued Russian strikes are costing Ukraine lives, time and normal childhoods.
Russia has repeatedly rejected ceasefires as a chance for Kyiv to rearm, though Putin on Wednesday agreed in principle to resume trilateral talks with the U.S. and Ukraine after Nov. 10.
