It is known from open sources that the icons on the cartridge cases are an artistic project of Kyiv artists Sofia Atlantova and Oleksandr Klymenko. Such icons symbolize the transformation of death into life. It should be noted that the US Secretary of State is known for his piety. On March 6, Rubio gave an interview with a cross on his forehead, which is associated with the Catholic Church's Ash Wednesday rite.
Sybiha noted that at the meeting with the American side in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia), special attention was paid to the release of prisoners, civilians, and the return of Ukrainian children. According to him, the signing of the agreement on mineral resources is directly related to the US guaranteeing Ukraine's long-term prosperity and security, which the Ukrainian side sought.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on March 11, Head of the Presidential Office Andrii Yermak stated that Ukraine had expressed its readiness to accept the US proposal to immediately introduce a temporary, 30-day ceasefire.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that Ukraine accepts the US proposal to establish a complete ceasefire, not only regarding missiles, drones, and bombs, not only in the Black Sea, but also along the entire front line.
On March 11, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that it would be best for russia to agree to a 30-day ceasefire proposed by Ukraine.
