France proposes one-month truce in Ukraine conflict
ai generated text
French leader is proposing a one-month truce between Russia and Ukraine, which would test Moscow's commitment to ending the war it began with the 2022 invasion. The truce would be a partial one, focusing on "in the air, at sea and on energy infrastructure".
Such a truce on air, sea and energy infrastructure would allow us to determine whether Russian President Vladimir Putin is acting in good faith when he commits to a truce.
For three years, the Russians have spent 10 per cent of their GDP on defence.
There will be no European troops on Ukrainian soil in the coming weeks. The question is how we use this time to try to obtain a truce, with negotiations that will take several weeks.
We need Italy, a strong Italy which works side-by-side with France, with Germany, in the concert of great nations.
No agreement has been made on what a truce looks like. But we are working together with France and our European allies to look at what is the path to how … we create a lasting and durable peace in Ukraine.
I am convinced that the European Union – following the example of the United States – should enter into direct discussions with Russia on a ceasefire and sustainable peace in Ukraine.
What happened at the White House on Friday, of course, demonstrated how difficult it will be to reach a settlement trajectory around Ukraine.
The Kyiv regime and Zelensky do not want peace. They want the war to continue... Someone has to make Zelensky want peace. If Europeans can do it, they should be honoured and praised.
