Ukraine is demanding a long-term ceasefire in Russia's all-out war instead of the short parade-day truce the Kremlin floated to US President Donald Trump, as Kyiv accused Moscow of seeking a few hours of quiet to protect a military parade rather than pursuing genuine peace.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Thursday that Kyiv would first see “what exactly is this about,” in response to the proposal that came on Wednesday evening after Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested a temporary truce in a phone call with Trump.
