US EditionUkraine and European allies call for 30-day truce with Russia starting Monday
- On Saturday in Kyiv, the heads of four European nations—France, the UK, Germany, and Poland—put forward a call for an unconditional ceasefire with Russia lasting 30 days, to begin on Monday.
- This ceasefire offer follows a unilateral three-day ceasefire by Russia ending Saturday, amid ongoing conflict and failed negotiations over more favorable terms.
- The ceasefire would halt fighting on air, land, sea, and infrastructure and drew support from U.S. President Donald Trump and European leaders threatening sanctions if ignored.
- Russian shelling continues despite talks, with recent attacks killing civilians in Sumy and Kherson, while European leaders pledged strong support to Ukraine’s defense and sanctions enforcement.
- The proposed ceasefire seeks to initiate peace negotiations aimed at ending the most extensive and enduring conflict Europe has faced since World War II, while also intensifying efforts to compel Russia to halt its military actions.
