Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed his country's readiness to stop the war with Russia as soon as possible, in new statements that reflect Kiev's desire to end the fighting that has been going on for more than 4 years.

Zelensky said, in an interview with the American ABC network, that Ukraine is ready to stop the war with Russia as soon as possible.

In the same interview, the Ukrainian president explained that Russian forces currently control about 19% of Ukrainian territory.

Zelensky's statements come in light of the continuing military confrontations between the two countries, in parallel with diplomatic attempts to find a settlement that ends the war.

The percentage announced by Zelensky highlights the size of the territory that is still under Russian control, despite the continuation of military operations and attempts to reach a political solution.

The available statements did not include additional details regarding the areas covered by this percentage, or whether it has witnessed a change during the recent period.

Zelensky also did not clarify, according to the information received, Kiev's conditions for stopping the war or the practical steps that could lead to an agreement with Moscow.

These statements come at a time when the future of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine is still a subject of international interest, amid efforts to find a formula that allows the cessation of military operations.

Russian President Vladimir Putin recently spoke about the possibility of holding new talks on the war, indicating that security issues will be an essential part of any future discussions.

With Zelensky confirming his country's readiness to stop the war quickly, reaching an actual agreement remains dependent on understandings between Moscow and Kiev regarding controversial issues.

Based on the available statements, no ceasefire agreement or specific date for the start of new negotiations was announced.
