Bussiness Insider: Zelenskyy says there's no point in negotiating with Russia until it gets 'smashed in the face' and all Ukrainian territories are liberated 

* Zelenskyy told WSJ that Ukraine can't agree to a ceasefire until it takes its territory back from Russia. 

* A ceasefire "means a pause that gives the Russian Federation a break for rest," Zelenskyy said. 

* He said Russia would just resume its offensive later on after regaining strength. 

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a new interview with The Wall Street Journal that establishing a ceasefire in the war with Russia while allowing it to maintain control of parts of Ukraine would result in a prolonged conflict.

"Freezing the conflict with the Russian Federation means a pause that gives the Russian Federation a break for rest," Zelenskyy said, adding, "They will not use this pause to change their geopolitics or to renounce their claims on the former Soviet republics." 

Zelenskyy said Russia would use a ceasefire to regain strength and then resume its offensive against Ukraine later on.
