An important position of the White House is that only a permanent, unconditional and comprehensive ceasefire, and not a temporary one, as Putin proposes, is necessary to end the war
He reminded that Ukraine agreed to the US proposal for a complete ceasefire as early as March 11, confirming this during a meeting with the American delegation in Jeddah, emphasizing that Ukraine is interested in ending the war, and for this it is necessary to take the first full step - to stop the fire.
Russia fires on Ukraine from the air every day, kills civilians, attacks at the front and declares temporary truces, which it violates itself - as it was during Easter. A truce is needed not for a parade, but for a real and lasting peace
Let us remind you
The Russian Federation announces a truce from May 8 to 11, referring to the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. The Kremlin states that the Ukrainian side must join the truce.
