European leaders visit Kyiv, urge Russia to accept 30-day unconditional ceasefire starting Monday
ai generated text
European leaders, including Britain, France, Germany, and Poland, have issued an ultimatum to Vladimir Putin, demanding that he sign an unconditional ceasefire in Ukraine by Monday or face increased sanctions and weapons transfers to Ukraine. The leaders made a joint visit to Kyiv, where they met with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and discussed a 30-day ceasefire.
Then negotiations on a peace treaty could also be started.
We support the proposal for a full and unconditional 30-day ceasefire. It must be implemented without pre-conditions to pave the way for meaningful peace negotiations.
What's happening with Poland, Germany and Great Britain is a historic moment for European defense and toward a greater independence for our security.
In the event of a violation of this ceasefire, we have agreed that massive sanctions will be prepared and coordinated between Europeans and Americans.
The position we've now got to today is absolute unity across a whole range of countries around the world, including the United States, that there must be that 30-day unconditional ceasefire.
Putin didn't need conditions when he wanted a ceasefire to have a parade, and he doesn't need them now. Ukraine has shown the willingness to engage again and again, but again and again Putin has refused.
All of us here, together with the US, are calling Putin out. If he's serious about peace, then he has a chance to show it now.
We understand the lessons of history, the lesson that any veteran of Normandy or north Africa or of any other campaign will tell you, but that Putin has not yet grasped. There is no glory in aggression and conquest, glory comes from fighting for your country, defending the people, and winning the peace.
We hear many contradictory statements from Europe. They are generally confrontational in nature rather than aimed at trying to revive our relations. Nothing more.
Macron, Merz, Starmer, and Tusk were supposed to discuss peace in Kiev (sic). Instead, they are blurting out threats against Russia … You think that's smart, eh? Shove these peace plans up your pangender arses.
Ukraine and all allies are ready for a full unconditional ceasefire on land, air, and at sea for at least 30 days starting already on Monday. If Russia agrees and effective monitoring is ensured, a durable ceasefire and confidence-building measures can pave the way to peace negotiations.
The ceasefire must be comprehensive: in the air, at sea and on land.
It is quite possible to monitor the ceasefire in coordination with the United States of America, this is really realistic. The ceasefire should last for 30 days to give diplomacy a real chance.
