France has announced Kiev's desire to continue the conflict

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky is looking for excuses to abandon a possible peace agreement even before the meeting of the leaders of the Russian Federation and the United States, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, takes place. This was announced on August 9 by the leader of the French Patriots party, Florian Philippot.
