Everything (Putin) does delays all possibilities, all processes, all negotiations and all possibilities for further steps towards ending the war, says Zelenskyj at a press conference in Kyiv.

He simultaneously rejects a proposal from Putin for Ukraine to have an interim government monitored by the UN, pending a new election.

Zelenskyj also states that he and the Ukrainian government have now officially received the American proposal for a mineral agreement.
