European parties and U.S. advocating for a 30-day truce in Ukraine
📣 Latest Update on 30-day Ceasefire Proposal in Ukraine 🌐
Friedrich Merz, German Chancellor, announced today that a 30-day ceasefire plan for Ukraine is imminent, with strong backing from the USA and European allies. Merz discussed the proposed peace initiative with Trump on Thursday, who shared his plan.
Merz stated that he expressed his support for the ceasefire, aligning with the viewpoint of the German federal government. He also revealed that there's a draft joint statement from EU countries like Germany, France, and Poland, along with other partners, which closely mirrors the 30-day ceasefire proposal.
Addressing the world from Brussels, Merz indicated that the ball is now in Russia's court. He urged Russia to agree to a longer ceasefire, allowing for genuine peace discussions. Merz emphasized the unwavering support that Germany and its European partners would continue to provide Ukraine.
USA's proposal for a 30-day ceasefire serves as a litmus test for Russian President Vladimir Putin's commitment to peace. Merz expressed his hope for a phase of serious negotiations to commence after the weekend, as military parades take place in Moscow. Reports reveal that there's a possibility for a 30-day ceasefire to be achieved over the upcoming weekend.
Simultaneously, Merz announced that Western states stand ready to impose further sanctions if Russia balks at peace negotiations. He warned that the coalition will escalate the sanctions pressure with their European partners and the USA if Russia doesn't pursue a path towards genuine peace negotiations. Merz also expressed optimism about the USA's commitment to increasing pressure on Russia to foster serious post-ceasefire negotiations.
In summary, the international community moves closer to a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine. While Russia is expected to make the crucial decision, time will tell whether this initiative will pave the way for meaningful peace talks or invoke escalated sanctions and continued conflict. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story. 🌐
