A 30-Day Ceasefire Pushed for Ukraine War
Ukrainian leaders, Selensky, Macron, and Starmer, paid tribute to the fallen soldiers at the "Memorial of Remembrance" in Kiev.
The latest move in the ongoing Ukraine conflict involves a proposed 30-day truce between Ukraine and Russia. European leaders, including those from France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Poland, have been pushing for this ceasefire, which is set to start on Monday. Ukraine and its allies are ready for a full, unconditional truce on land, air, and sea for at least 30 days.
During a visit to Kyiv on May 10, 2025, these leaders had meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and briefed U.S. President Trump on their stance. The aim is to pave the way for potential peace talks with Russia if a ceasefire is agreed upon and effectively monitored.
Following a unilateral three-day ceasefire by Russia, Ukraine alleges numerous violations. If Russia refuses the ceasefire, European leaders have made it clear that they will impose tougher sanctions. Moreover, talks are underway about creating a "coalition of the willing" to support Ukraine's armed forces and maintain stability in the region.
As the ball is in Russia’s court, time will tell whether a peaceful resolution will be reached or if the conflict will escalate further.
