Zelenskyy: Ukraine will seek alternative paths to peace if diplomatic efforts fail

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday said the country would not stop its efforts even if the current diplomatic attempts to end the war fail, stressing that Ukraine would be forced to seek alternative mechanisms to achieve peace.

Speaking about possible scenarios, Zelenskyy underlined the need to assess the situation realistically, but without falling into despair. He noted that Ukraine must remain united and prepared for different outcomes while continuing to work toward ending the war.

“If, for one reason or another, the peaceful resolution of the war collapses, we must unite, find another path, and once again do everything possible to bring this war to an end,” Zelenskyy said.
