Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called russian dictator vladimir putin's proposal for direct talks between the states a "good sign." However, Zelenskyy stressed that the very first step in ending the war should be a complete ceasefire. He wrote about this on his Telegram channel.
"This is a good sign that the russians have finally thought about ending the war. Everyone in the world has been expecting this for a very long time. And the very first step in the real end of any war is a ceasefire," the President noted.
Zelenskyy added that it makes no sense to continue the killings even for a day.
"We expect russia to confirm a ceasefire - complete, lasting and reliable - starting tomorrow, May 12, and Ukraine is ready to meet," he summed up.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on May 10, the leaders of France, Great Britain, Germany and Poland arrived in Kyiv. After a joint meeting, they called Donald Trump and announced: from May 12, Ukraine and partners are ready for an unconditional 30-day ceasefire. The US will lead monitoring. If russia refuses, sanctions will be strengthened. In turn, russian dictator vladimir putin rejected the idea of starting a 30-day ceasefire and allegedly declared his readiness to hold direct negotiations with Ukraine from May 15.
