Russia has been rejecting a proposal from the United States and Ukraine to end three years of combat.
Ukraine said Thursday that Russia has been rejecting a proposal from the United States and Ukraine to end three years of combat without any conditions for more than three months. foreign Minister states that “Russia has been turning down calls for a ceasefire for a 100 days”.
US, Russian, and Ukrainian officials have met a lot since US President Donald Trump was sworn in earlier this year in an attempt to stop Moscow’s invasion, but to no avail.
A ceasefire is a “basic first step towards peace,” Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha said in a statement, adding that it has been precisely 100 days since Ukraine unconditionally accepted the US peace proposal to completely cease fire, put an end to the killing, and move forward with a genuine peace process.
Russia has set terms to start peace talks that Kyiv has referred to as “ultimatums” throughout multiple rounds of in-person negotiations in Turkey.
In addition to replacing Volodymyr Zelensky as president of Ukraine, the Kremlin is vying for control of four areas it says it has acquired since launching its invasion in 2022.
Throughout the negotiations, Moscow’s forces have maintained their steady but expensive advances across the vast front line, and it asserts that Kyiv would take advantage of any break in hostilities to resupply and reassemble its overburdened soldiers.
Ukraine is still dedicated to achieving peace. Regretfully, despite US efforts to stop the bloodshed, Russia still chooses war,” Sybiha added.
Now is the moment to take action and compel Russia to make peace.
Strength, more sanctions, and improved capabilities for Ukraine will bring about peace,” he continued.
