Ukraine rejected Putin's idea of ​​a three -day truce for May 9

In response, Zelensky proposed to establish a 30-day truce

Zelensky rejected Putin’s proposal for a three -day truce on May 9 and insists on the ceasefire for 30 days. It is reported by Interfax-Ukraine.

According to him, the proposal of the Russian Federation is a “theater production”.

“Why is the ceasefire for 30 days? Because it is impossible to agree on three, five, seven days, ”Zelensky said during communication with reporters.

The President of Ukraine also stated that the country “cannot guarantee” the safety of world leaders who will come to Moscow to the parade on May 9 - Russia can itself perform any actions against guests and shift guilt for this to Ukraine, he said.

The truce proposed by Russia on May 9 was a test of Kyiv’s readiness for a peaceful process. This, as RBC writes , said the representative of the Kremlin Dmitry Peskov. However, the refusal of this shows that "neo -Nazism is the ideological basis of the Kyiv authorities." Now Russia will wait for “unambiguous statements and actions” from Ukraine aimed at de -escalation of the conflict on holidays.

On April 28, Putin announced a truce, which should last from 8 to 10 in honor of the anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. The Kremlin emphasized that if the Ukrainian side violates the truce, the RF Armed Forces "will give an adequate and effective answer."

Zelensky immediately called the proposal “another attempt to manipulate” and urged to cease the fire for at least 30 days.

Earlier, Putin announced the Easter ceasefire of Russia with Ukraine from 18:00 on April 19 to 00:00 on April 21. Despite this, both sides accused each other of violation of the agreements.

The immediate start of direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, in order to stop the hostilities, appeared in the plan of Trump, which was represented by Europe at a summit in Paris. This was written by Reuters.
