Zelensky: Russia Shows No Readiness to End War as Ukraine Plans Additional Pressure

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on September 26 that Russia shows no readiness to end the war, as Ukraine and its allies plan additional pressure measures against Moscow. Zelensky's assessment came on the same day that Lavrov declared the war would continue 'through to the end' and China announced a peace plan. Ukraine and Western partners are reportedly coordinating further sanctions and military aid packages aimed at increasing the cost of Russia's continued aggression and forcing a shift in Moscow's calculus.
