May 11 (Reuters) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on ⁠Monday that Russia has no intention of ending the more than four-year-old war with his country and Kyiv ⁠was preparing for further attacks.

Zelenskiy made his comments as a U.S.-mediated ceasefire linked to Russia's 81st anniversary ‌of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany drew to a close, with each side accusing the other of violating it. He also spoke two days after Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested the conflict was coming to an end.
