Zelensky says 30-day ceasefire could be used to draft peace plan

Agency :

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday hailed a meeting between the US and Ukraine this week aimed at ending Russia’s invasion and said a proposed ceasefire could be used to draft a broader peace deal.
The United States said on Tuesday it was resuming military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine after US and Ukrainian officials agreed in Saudi Arabia on a 30-day ceasefire with Russia, reports Reuters.
“I am very serious (about a ceasefire) and for me it is important to end the war,” Zelensky said during a briefing in Kyiv, where he described the resumption of US aid and intelligence as very positive.
“We are ready for a ceasefire for 30 days as proposed by the American side.”
Zelensky added that the Jeddah meeting had helped “de-escalate” tensions between the US and Ukraine after a White House clash between him and President Donald Trump last month.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said after the talks in Jeddah that the US would now take the offer to Russia, and that the ball was in Moscow’s court.
The Kremlin said on Wednesday it was awaiting details from Washington on the 30-day ceasefire proposal.
