Zelensky: "Peace is possible when Russia itself begins to move in this direction"
![]() 519 Tuesday, 22 April, 2025, 11:16 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Ukraine stands by its offer to Russia to stop attacks on civilian infrastructure, and noted the "obvious, simplest and most reliable way" to do so. "It is from Moscow that a real order must come for the Russian army to cease fire. And if there is no such firm Russian order for ceasefire – then there is no ceasefire. Indeed, there were no air raid alerts on Easter, and some sectors of the frontline remained quiet. This proves it is possible — it’s possible when Russia chooses to reduce the killing. Nevertheless, Ukraine stands by its offer — at the very least, not to strike civilian infrastructure. And we expect a clear answer from Moscow. We are ready for any conversation on how to ensure this. There is an obvious, simplest, and most reliable way: stop missile and long-range drone attacks. That alone would automatically ensure the safety of all civilian infrastructure. A ceasefire — real and lasting — must be the first step toward a secure and enduring peace" Zelenskyy said on X.
