Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has doubled down on his rejection of an immediate ceasefire in the war with Russia.

Speaking to the Financial Times after a weekend hobnobbing with European elites in London, Zelensky made it clear he's willing to let Ukraine burn rather than negotiate a practical peace.

Zelensky's latest outburst comes on the heels of a fiery confrontation with President Donald Trump at the White House last Friday, where the Ukrainian leader clashed with America's commander-in-chief over Kyiv's refusal to consider a ceasefire.
