Both sides, both Ukrainian and Russian, will have to compromise while the US works to achieve a ceasefire. This was stated by US State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce during a briefing, reports UNN.
We continue to engage with both Russia and Ukraine. We are committed to continuing our work to bridge this gap. As the Secretary has stated repeatedly, both sides will have to compromise as we work in this range of ceasefires.
She recalled that President Zelenskyy had agreed to a partial ceasefire against energy infrastructure and reaffirmed his willingness to accept a full ceasefire.
Of course, there is an aspect, the possibility that while these situations, these technical negotiations are ongoing now, we hope to see what the parties have come to. And our job is to agree on how we are going to do this, but the Black Sea is currently being discussed directly, and let's hope that we have some success here.
