Ukraine ready for month-long ceasefire with Russia

KABUL (Pajhwok): Ukraine has signaled its readiness to accept a US proposal for a 30-day ceasefire with Russia on the land, sea and sky during talks in Saudi Arabia, the BBC reported.

The deputy chief of President Zelensky’s office says the Trump administration has resumed military assistance to Ukraine.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says now “the ball is in Russia’s court”, and he will take the offer to Moscow.

Talks between the US and Ukraine in Saudi Arabia seem to have been fruitful, with a 30-day ceasefire proposal on the table that has been accepted by Zelensky and his officials.

Zelensky says Ukraine is “ready to take this step” towards peace, as his deputy head confirms that security assistance from the US has been restored.

US President Donald Trump says he is open to inviting Zelensky back to the White House, following their fiery clash less than a fortnight ago.

The ugly incident in the Oval Office had sparked international concern over the US-Ukraine relationship.
