Calls for 30-Day Ceasefire Intensify as European Leaders Visit Kyiv
Ukraine and its allies are pressing for a 30-day unconditional ceasefire starting Monday, with European leaders visiting Kyiv to support this effort. Key figures, including French President Macron and German Chancellor Merz, joined British leader Keir Starmer and others in urging Russian President Putin to accept the truce. The leaders emphasized that failure to comply would result in massive new sanctions. Trump also weighed in, indicating U.S. support for the ceasefire and potential sanctions against Russia if an agreement is not reached. As global pressures mount, Ukraine remains determined to establish a framework for peace.
