Ukraine supports a 30 -day truce proposal promoted by the United States
The president of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenskyy, was favorable to the American proposal of a 30 -day truce in the conflict with Russia, noting that his country is willing to accept the cessation of hostilities under those conditions. The announcement took place after signing a strategic agreement between Washington and kyiv.
On Wednesday, the United States and Ukraine closed a pact that gives American power access to vast mineral resources of the European country. This agreement, which had been in negotiation for months, could guarantee the continuity of US military aid to Ukraine, amid fears that President Donald Trump reduces his support in peace conversations with Moscow.
From kyiv, Zelenskyy explained to the press that The truce could begin at any timeprovided that its duration of one month is respected, as the United States originally proposed. According to him, that period would allow to advance concretely towards the resolution of a conflict that already exceeds three years.
Zelenskyy was skeptical with respect to the recent announcement of the Kremlin on a high unilateral fire of 72 hours next week, on the occasion of the Victory Day in World War II. In his opinion, it is a symbolic gesture destined to generate an atmosphere of temporary calm before commemorations, rather than a real step towards peace.
