Zelensky says Ukraine stands by offer of 30-day ceasefire
- During his address in the evening of May 7, President Zelenskyy of Ukraine reiterated his nation's proposal to implement a 30-day ceasefire amid ongoing clashes around Kyiv and other areas.
- The offer follows a March US proposal for a 30-day pause that Russia rejected, instead proposing a limited three-day ceasefire around Victory Day on May 9.
- In the hours before the Kremlin-sponsored ceasefire, Kyiv endured multiple Russian drone and missile strikes, which local officials said were repelled or destroyed.
- Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine is maintaining its offer, viewing it as a potential avenue for diplomatic progress, while criticizing Russia for continuing its attacks instead of engaging in dialogue.
- The conflicting ceasefire offers and ongoing attacks highlight persistent mistrust and complicate efforts to halt hostilities during historical commemorations.
