At a time when he faces growing pressure from Western allies and some of his fellow Ukrainians to negotiate a ceasefire, Mr Zelensky said there is no alternative to the “peace formula” he presented two years ago.

Mr Zelensky added that Russian president Vladimir Putin is attempting to “break the Ukrainian spirit” by targeting his country’s energy infrastructure with deliberate attacks on Ukraine’s power plants and entire energy grid.
“This is how Putin is preparing for winter, hoping to torment millions of Ukrainians … Putin wants to leave them in the dark and force Ukraine to suffer and surrender,” he told the 193member body.
