Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has denied that the war with Russia has reached a stalemate, pushing back against suggestions that Western leaders are calling for peace talks. Zelenskyy stated that while people are tired, it is not a stalemate and that no one is pressuring Ukraine to negotiate with Russia. He also mentioned that the conflict in the Middle East is diverting attention from Ukraine, but expressed confidence that they will overcome this challenge. Ukraine's supporters, including the US, have pledged ongoing military and financial assistance to help defeat Russia.
