Zelensky denies ceasefire with Russia under discussion on Europe trip

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Thursday a ceasefire with Russia was not under discussion with European allies and urged more Western support ahead of a tough winter during his lightning tour of four capitals.

Zelensky was seeking a military and financial boost during a 48-hour trip to London, Paris, Rome and Berlin, amid fears of dwindling support if Donald Trump becomes US president next month.
Speaking to reporters after talks with President Emmanuel Macron in Paris, Zelensky denied media reports that he was discussing the terms of a ceasefire with Russia.

“This is not the topic of our discussions,” he said. “It’s not right. Russia works a lot with media disinformation so it [such reports] is understandable,” he said.

Zelensky has rejected any peace plan that involves ceding land to Russia, arguing Moscow must first withdraw all troops from Ukrainian territory.
