EU Supports Ukraine’s 30-Day Ceasefire Proposal with Russia

New Delhi – The European Union (EU) has shown support for Ukraine after it agreed to a 30-day ceasefire with Russia. This decision was made after discussions between American and Ukrainian negotiators in Saudi Arabia. The EU, made up of 27 countries, is ready to help Ukraine and its partners with the next steps. However, it is still unclear if Russia will agree to this ceasefire, as the Kremlin is waiting for information from the United States about the talks that took place in Jeddah.

Kaja Kallas, the EU’s foreign affairs chief, said the EU welcomes the agreement between Ukraine and the US. She emphasized that the EU wants to help Ukraine achieve a fair and lasting peace based on international laws. Kallas mentioned that if Russia accepts the ceasefire proposal, it could be an important move toward peace. Now, it’s up to Russia to show if it wants to work for peace.

In a joint statement, Ukraine and the US said Ukraine is willing to accept a ceasefire that lasts 30 days. This ceasefire can be extended if both sides agree, and it will only be valid if Russia also agrees. The US will let Russia know that cooperation from them is essential for peace. Additionally, the US will restart sharing intelligence and security assistance to Ukraine immediately.
