Ukrainian President Sets Conditions for Peace Talks with Russia
ai generated text
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine has expressed his stance on potential negotiations with Russia. He emphasizes the need for a 30-day ceasefire before direct talks can begin, stating that "there is no point in continuing the killing even for a single day".
President Zelensky committed without setting any condition. We now expect an equally clear response from Russia. There can be no negotiations while weapons are speaking. There can be no dialogue if, at the same time, civilians are being bombed.
All of us here together with the US are calling Putin out.
The entire world has been waiting for this for a very long time. And the very first step in truly ending any war is a cease-fire.
There is no point in continuing the killing even for a single day. We expect Russia to confirm a ceasefire — full, lasting, and reliable — starting tomorrow, May 12th, and Ukraine is ready to meet.
It is a positive sign that the Russians have finally begun to consider ending the war.
An unconditional ceasefire by definition cannot be subject to any conditions. If Russia calls for such conditions, this can only be considered as an effort to prolong the war and undermine diplomacy.
A potentially great day for Russia and Ukraine! Think of the hundreds of thousands of lives that will be saved as this never ending 'bloodbath' hopefully comes to an end. It will be a whole new, and much better, WORLD.
I will continue to work with both sides to make sure that it happens. The USA wants to focus, instead, on Rebuilding and Trade. A BIG week upcoming!
