President of the United States of America (USA) Donald Trump, after a conversation with President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday, May 8, said that negotiations with Ukraine and Russia are ongoing. The American leader called for a 30-day ceasefire and warned of sanctions. This is reported by UNN with reference to the White House Head's account on the social network Truth Social.
In his post, the US President noted that such a ceasefire "should ultimately build towards a peace agreement."
The US is demanding, ideally, a 30-day unconditional ceasefire. We hope that an acceptable ceasefire will be observed, and both countries will be held accountable for upholding the sanctity of these direct negotiations. If the ceasefire is not observed, the US and its partners will impose additional sanctions.
Trump once again reminded that "thousands of young soldiers are dying every week, and everyone should want it to stop."
In his post, the US President also noted that such a ceasefire "should ultimately build towards a peace agreement."
"This ceasefire should ultimately lead to a peace agreement. All this can be done very quickly, and I will be available at any moment if my services are needed," the Head of the White House noted.
