US-Ukraine ceasefire plan presented to Russia with warnings of consequences if rejected
ai generated text
The United States has proposed a 30-day ceasefire, which Russia has yet to respond to. The Kremlin has stated that any ceasefire must address the root causes of the conflict, and Russian officials have cast doubt on the proposal, with some describing it as a "short reprieve" for Ukrainian forces. The situation remains fluid, with diplomatic efforts ongoing. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has stated that the "ball is now in Russia's court," while Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has urged patience, stating that Moscow is still studying the US proposal.
This is the moment when Europe must throw its full weight behind Ukraine, and itself.
A temporary 30-day ceasefire would give nothing to Russia.
The document, it seems to me, has a hasty character … It will be necessary to work, think and take into account our position too. It outlines only the Ukrainian approach.
Steps that merely imitate peaceful actions are not needed by anyone in this situation.
Negotiators are flying in and, indeed, contacts are scheduled.
Contacts with the US administration are becoming more active.
Russia will not accept the deployment of foreign armed forces in Ukraine, as it would constitute direct involvement in the conflict, and Moscow will respond with all available means.
It is absolutely unacceptable to us that army units of other states are stationed in Ukraine under any flag.
Russia's position is not formed abroad through agreements or efforts by other parties. Russia's position is formed within the Russian Federation.
Regrettably, for more than a day already, the world has yet to hear a meaningful response from Russia to the proposals made. This once again demonstrates that Russia seeks to prolong the war and postpone peace for as long as possible. We hope that US pressure will be sufficient to compel Russia to end the war.
I understand that we could count on strong steps. I don't know the details yet, but we are talking about sanctions and about strengthening Ukraine.
The military command is doing what it should do – saving the maximum number of lives of our soldiers.
I will talk to my Russian counterpart in the coming days.
We all eagerly await the Russian response and urge them strongly to consider ending all hostilities.
