Volodymyr Zelenskyy called Ukrainian partners to ensure that Russia does not “deceive” them on a cease-fire.
After revolutionary talks between Ukrainian and American officials in Saudi Arabia, kyiv said he was ready to accept a cease-fire offered by 30 days with Russia.
But his night speech on Wednesday evening, one day after the Jeddah summit, President Zelenskyy said: “We have to go to peace” – but has issued a warning to the allies.
“The key factor is the ability of our partners to ensure the preparation of Russia not to be deceived but to end the war,” said the Ukrainian chief. “Because right now, Russian strikes have not stopped.”
“ Call Moscow’s Bluff ”: the views of Sky News correspondents as Ukraine accepts the ceasefire agreement
Who is the real estate magnate responsible for negotiating peace in Ukraine?
The goal has now been to Vladimir Putin’s response to the proposed ceasefire. President Trump said the United States had received “positive messages” adding: “We have people who are going to Russia right now”.
However, he warned Moscow: “In a financial sense, yes, we could do things very badly for Russia, would be devastating for Russia.”
The European Defense Ministers, meeting in Paris, said that it was the time for Moscow to show that it was seriously a question of ending the war.
The British Secretary for Defense, John Healey, was one of those who were present and had a direct message for the Russian president: “I tell President Putin, to you, you want to speak, prove it.”
Mr. Healey called on Russia to accept the ceasefire and end the war, adding: “Pressure is now on Putin”.
For his part, President Putin played with his domestic audience with a visit to Kursk, where Russian troops finally seem to gain the upper hand against the Ukrainian forces which seized the territory in the Russian region last year.
Dressed in camouflage, the Russian president called for his forces to defeat the enemy and completely free Kursk, in the remarks reported by the Interfax news agency.
He also said that enemy troops captured in the region will be treated as terrorists, as the Chief of the Child Staff, told Mr. Putin that the Ukrainian forces in the region were surrounded.
