Truce from May 12

Recall that Ukraine previously announced its readiness for a 30-day ceasefire, which is due to begin this Monday.

The initiative, supported by the United States and European countries, calls for a complete cessation of hostilities on land, in the air and at sea. If Russia refuses a complete ceasefire, Ukraine’s Western partners are considering tightening sanctions .

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stressed that Ukraine is ready for direct negotiations with Russia only after Moscow confirms an unconditional ceasefire.

Kremlin leader Putin rejected the offer , saying he was ready to resume direct talks with Ukraine in Istanbul. Zelensky responded that he would be there in person on May 15 .
