Putin: Zelensky Cannot Ensure Disengagement of Forces

According to Russian President Vladimir Putin his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky is unable to ensure disengagement of combat units Zolote and Petrovske because of Nationalist armed groups, TASS reports. We have agreed on the disengagement of forces. But the incumbent president is still unable to ensure disengagement of combat units and equipment. He cannot. Nationalist armed groups have arrived there and said, “If the army leaves its positions, we will take them.” The army is not leaving, said Putin. He says that representatives of the DPR and the LPR have signaled two or three times that they are ready and they fired signal flares, a white flare (a white flare is a withdrawal signal). They fire them, but there is nothing on the other side, no response. “Political will must be displayed here,” Putin said. “This is why, I believe, we should support policies rather than certain people who are implementing these policies”, added Putin.
