A top adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has cautioned against signing a peace agreement with Russia, likening it to making a deal with the devil. The adviser expressed concerns that such a deal would only provide a temporary respite for Russia to bolster its military capabilities, potentially leading to a more violent phase of the conflict.
The sentiment against a peace deal with Russia is widely shared among Zelenskyy's camp and the Ukrainian populace. However, Western pressure for negotiations is mounting as Ukraine faces challenges on the front lines against the better-equipped Russian army.
