Western Allies Pressure Russia To Accept 30-Day Ceasefire Starting Monday<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Pressure is mounting on Moscow to take it’s offerings of short, three-day ceasefires (there have been two thus far) to the next level, by accepting terms for a 30-day ceasefire that would begin as early as Monday.<\/p>\n

The so-called ‘coalition of the willing’ – including Britain, France, Germany and Poland on Saturday called on Russia\u00a0accept a 30-day unconditional ceasefire<\/strong>. Currently, Putin’s unliterally proposed 72-hour Victory Day ceasefire is partially holding – or at least has resulting in Ukraine halting sending drones onto Russian territory.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha stated<\/a> on X “Ukraine and all allies are ready for a full unconditional ceasefire on land, air, and at sea for at least 30 days starting already on Monday.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“If Russia agrees and effective monitoring is ensured, a durable ceasefire and confidence-building measures can pave the way to peace negotiations,” he added. This is meant to basically extend the weekend 3-day ceasefire by a month.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration has been pressing for faster results from Moscow<\/strong>. President Trump characterized an earlier Wednesday phone call with Zelensky as positive, after which the US leader called for “ideally, a 30-day unconditional ceasefire.”<\/p>\n

And Macron and Trump then spoke Thursday, after which the French leader said\u00a0had a “strong” conversation for a “unconditional 30-day ceasefire, as did our British and Nordic partners earlier this morning.”<\/p>\n

Trump has offered as an incentive the easing of anti-Russia sanctions, but Moscow’s refusal to go along could result in the opposite, per Axios<\/a>:<\/p>\n

They [European leaders] stressed to Trump that if Putin refuses the 30-day ceasefire, European countries will impose new sanctions on Russia<\/strong>, the sources said.<\/em>
\n\t“Trump seemed satisfied to see Ukraine embracing the ceasefire and accepting direct negotiations with Russia,” one source said.<\/em>
\n\tThe second source said Trump was glad to hear they all back his proposal. “We’re waiting for Russia’s move now,”<\/strong> the source said.<\/em><\/p>\n

But Secretary of State Marco Rubio has previously\u00a0warned<\/a>\u00a0that Washington may abandon efforts to mediate an end to the three-plus-year-long war if Russia and Ukraine fail to make a peace agreement.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think they\u2019re closer in general than they\u2019ve been any time in the last three years but it\u2019s still not there,\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Rubio said in an interview with NBC News on April 27.<\/p>\n

A comprehensive (air, land, sea, infrastructure) cease fire for 30 days will start the process for ending the largest and longest war in Europe since World War II. As @POTUS<\/a> has repeatedly said, stop the killing-now. https:\/\/t.co\/OC49YEFP4P<\/a><\/p>\n

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky posted on X<\/a>\u00a0that “We share a common view: an immediate, full, and unconditional ceasefire is needed for at least 30 days,” and that they “waiting for Russia’s response” – in reference to the European leaders Starmer, Zelensky, Macron, Tusk, and Merz – who are visiting Kiev on Saturday.<\/p>\n

“Once the ceasefire begins, there will be the best moment for diplomacy,” he said. “Ukraine is ready for meetings and negotiations in any format.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
