Zelensky: Fastest Way To End War Lies In Holding Positions And Moving To Negotiations
“The quickest way to end Russia's war is to hold the positions and move to discussions. What is very important here is that we decided: stop where we are, it's a ceasefire, and we go to the diplomatic track. It can last one month, two months, or one year. Or it can last longer than we expect today,” Zelensky said.
According to him, ending the active phase of the war would stop people from being killed, slow the pace of mobilization, allow the economy to resume operations, and make it possible to move on to negotiations.
The President stressed that dialogue is preferable to armed confrontation, and that weapons must therefore be replaced with diplomatic instruments.

What is demilitarized? What does it mean? What do we need for this? Europeans. Reconstruction. Where to get the money? Thousands of questions, but this is the format to stop the war – ceasefire. If Putin doesn't want a ceasefire and says,“No, I want a long plan, with different questions, both difficult, sensitive, and not. And then, when we sign this long plan, we will stop the war,” it simply means he doesn't want to stop the war,” Zelensky emphasized.
As Ukrinform reported, a trilateral meeting involving Ukraine, the United States, and Russia is scheduled to take place in the capital of the United Arab Emirates on November 10–11.
The United States will mediate working-level negotiation between Ukraine and Russia.
Ahead of the trilateral meeting in Abu Dhabi, President Volodymyr Zelensky held a conversation with U.S. President's special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
