Wed Jan 29 02:45:04 IST 2025: ## Zelensky Accuses Putin of Fear, Warmongering
**KYIV, UKRAINE** – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of fearing negotiations and deliberately prolonging the war in Ukraine. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Zelenskyy responded to Putin’s recent rejection of direct talks, stating that Putin’s actions demonstrate a fear of strong leaders and a desire to perpetuate the conflict. Zelenskyy asserted that Putin’s “every move…and all his cynical tricks are aimed at making the war endless.” The Ukrainian president’s statement follows Putin’s repeated refusal to engage in direct negotiations with him. This latest accusation further escalates the already tense rhetoric between the two leaders.
