German Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz hopes that Moscow will agree to a 30-day ceasefire, which will make real negotiations possible.

As Censor.NET reports , Merz wrote about this on the social network X.
Thus, he noted that yesterday, May 10, in Kyiv, “we and our partners called for a 30-day ceasefire to create space for negotiations. Ukraine agreed to this without any “ifs” or “buts”.”
At the same time, Merz emphasized that Russia’s signals of readiness for negotiations are a good sign, but this is by no means enough.
“We expect Moscow to now agree to a ceasefire, which will make real negotiations possible. First the guns must fall silent, and then negotiations can begin,” he added.

As a reminder, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy previously stated that Ukraine is ready for meetings and negotiations in any format after a complete ceasefire.
In turn, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin rejected the “Coalition of the Willing” proposal for a ceasefire from May 12 and proposed resuming direct negotiations between Ukraine and the Russian Federation in Istanbul.
US President Donald Trump is convinced that Ukraine and Russia can begin peace negotiations and this day will be a big one for Ukraine and Russia.
In response to Putin’s statement, President Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine expects the Russian Federation to confirm the ceasefire from May 12, and stressed that Ukraine is ready to meet.

Even if putler relents and agrees to this proposal, which seems pretty unlikely, what would Ukraine achieve from sitting down with this murderous bastard?
The rat nazi will just excrete the same kremkrapp. And then what?
He will never negotiate in good faith because he’s a criminal psychopath.
But it would be a different story if his orcs are getting marmalised daily at twice the current rate, his economy is being dragged down the shitter and long range fires are demolishing his energy infrastructure.
Yeah, we should know very quickly if the occupiers will call for a ceasefire before negotiations. If not, the sanctions are already locked and loaded.
