Ihor Kolomoisky says Ukraine should keep fighting rather than accept a truce, arguing that Russia would use the pause to attack again when the country was less prepared.
The Ukrainian businessman makes the remarks in a courtroom clip published by Ukraine's Television News Service (TSN). Wearing a blue Dnipro football club tracksuit jacket, he responds to an off-camera question about the way out of the war.
After asking whom the question concerns, he is told: "For us." His answer is to hold on and fight, asking what other option remains.
Kolomoisky says the proposals Ukraine has been offered are unacceptable, without identifying their terms in this excerpt. He describes any truce as a catastrophe for Ukraine and expresses certainty that another attack would follow, leaving the country facing renewed fighting in a weakened state.
The exchange presents his argument against a ceasefire, rather than details of a negotiated settlement or an announcement of Ukrainian government policy.
