President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy considers it impossible to freeze the war, because "Putin is not satisfied with frozen food."

"Putin loves money above all else. The more billions he and his oligarchs, friends and accomplices lose, the more likely he is to regret starting this war. Putin should feel regret. We need him to lose," the Ukrainian leader said, speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Tuesday.

Zelensky recalled that "after 2014, there were attempts to freeze the war in Donbas. There were very, very influential guarantors, like the German Chancellor and the French President. But Putin is a predator who is not satisfied with frozen food."

"Every decrease in pressure on the aggressor adds years, years to the war. But every investment in the defender's trust shortens the war. We must give the opportunity to answer the most important question. The war will end in a just and stable peace," he stressed.
