“We are against any truce that plays into the hands of the enemy,” Zelenskyy said.
On Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin told state media that he had discussed the idea of an Olympic truce with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping. Asked if he would support the idea, Putin reportedly responded with a criticism of Western sports authorities.
In his AFP interview, Zelenskyy vowed to keep fighting Russia’s army. “First of all, we don’t trust Putin,” he said.
