kyiv: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Sunday that Moscow is committed to a high 30 -day fire starting from Monday and that kyiv was “ready” for direct conversations with Russia.
Zelensky spoke hours after the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, proposed direct conversations with kyiv in Istanbul this month, but did not commit to a high 30 -day fire proposed by European leaders and backed by the United States.
“It makes no sense to continue the murder even for a single day. We hope that Russia confirms a high fire, complete, durable and reliable, starting tomorrow, on May 12 and Ukraine is ready to meet,” Zelensky said on social networks.
Zelensky also spoke with hope that Russia considered ending the three -year war, which began with the invasion of 2022 from Moscow.
“It is a positive sign that the Russians have finally begun to consider ending the war,” Zelensky said.
“The entire world has been waiting for this for a long time. And the first step to really end any war is a high fire.”
