Quote: "The most important thing is that we've agreed that a complete and unconditional ceasefire for at least 30 days should begin on Monday 12 May.

Together, we demand this from Russia and know that the United States supports us in this regard." Details: Zelenskyy pointed out that an attempt to impose conditions would indicate an intention to prolong the war and disrupt diplomacy. "The ceasefire must be comprehensive; in the air, at sea and on land," he said. "It's entirely possible to ensure the monitoring of the ceasefire in coordination with the United States.

That's totally realistic."

The Ukrainian leader believes the ceasefire should last for 30 days to give diplomacy a real chance. During this time, efforts will concentrate on defining the security, political and humanitarian foundations of peace. French President Emmanuel Macron added that the ceasefire will be monitored primarily by the Americans, but all others will also participate.

Macron said this will allow negotiations on sensitive infrastructure and security guarantees to begin immediately. "In the event of a violation of this ceasefire, we have agreed that massive sanctions will be prepared and coordinated between Europeans and Americans," the French president noted. Background:
