Ukrainian President Zelensky and the leaders of several NATO countries spoke on Saturday with President Trump and stressed they are ready for an unconditional 30-day ceasefire starting Monday, Ukraine's foreign minister said.

Trump called for a 30-day ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war earlier this week. While Ukraine agreed, the Kremlin hasn't given a clear answer so far.
-snip-
The leaders of France, U.K., Germany and Poland visited Kyiv on Saturday and met with Zelensky to discuss the ceasefire plan.
At the end of the meeting Zelensky and the European leaders called Trump and briefed him on their position.
"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," said Andrii Sybiha, Ukraine's foreign minister.

Two sources with knowledge of the 15-minute call said Zelensky and the European leaders told Trump that if a ceasefire is agreed upon, Ukraine is ready to begin direct peace talks with Russia.
They stressed to Trump that if Putin refuses the 30-day ceasefire, European countries will impose new sanctions on Russia, the sources said.
"Trump seemed satisfied to see Ukraine embracing the ceasefire and accepting direct negotiations with Russia," one source said.
The second source said Trump was glad to hear they all back his proposal. "We're waiting for Russia's move now," the source said.

Good! Finally. I heard Putin offered a 30-day ceasefire a few days ago during their VE victory parade. Hopefully this will lead to something good.
Putin didn’t offer a 30 day ceasefire. This is President Trump’s deal.
Russia won’t of course until their objectives are met
And short of of sending western Troops to Ukraine to fight what are the alternatives
You think the 23rd or whatever round of sanctions will suddenly cause the Russian military complex to collapse and Ukraine can retake the regions by force?
Don’t tell us tell Putin you fools.
30 days for Zelensky to throw a spanner in the works.
Please, President Trump, may we stop killing each other?
You should advocate for President Trump’s ceasefire to end Putin’s botched invasion. Get with the program.
Telling Trump isn’t going to get them anywhere. How about telling Putin?
And will they be so anxious after Kiev is hit with a bunch of missiles over the weekend? And when the Euro leaders are in town?

Facts on the ground.
Hah hah. This comes after the US Embassy warned Kiev and Green Booger that a retaliation strike for the drone attacks in Russia was forthcoming.
Now, all at once, that 30 day ceasefire is a big go with the Euroweenies. Until it isn’t. Who gets to play the we are innocent card?
The whole sham is funny but nauseating. 🙄🤣
Putin has so far totally rebuffed every single attempt by Trump to put in place a ceasefire. He has instead used the ongoing talks of ceasefire as fuel for escalating the war dramatically, targeting mostly civilian infrastructure and apartment buildings. Pure anti-Christianity.
Why tell Trump? Tell Putin and get on with it.
I wish Trump would stop acting like he’s in charge here. 4 months in and his policies have not worked.
Leave it alone.
Russia smells bull*hit since Ukraine isn’t denazified or disarmed.
Of course, Russia will end up being demonized for this stay tuned for more drama against Russia.
In Moscow yesterday I saw the scene that Angela Merkel warned about but the Neocon Warmongers in Washington didn’t care about.
Putin next to Xi Jinping.
Russia pushed to China by the Victoria Nuland crowd and their decade plus meddling in Ukraine against Russia.
China the main adversary one way or another of the USA what a mess.
This is President Trump’s deal. That’s why they called him to tell him they’re 100% on board with it.
Trump has proposed many deals. Some favoring Russia, some Ukraine. None of them worked and they won’t work until Zelensky sincerely comes to the table and drops the NATO/EU “peacekeepers” in Ukieland requirement.
This war is all on your Z-Man hero.
