European Leaders Rally Behind Ukraine’s Call for 30-Day Ceasefire

In a significant diplomatic push, Ukraine and its European allies have urged Russia to agree to a 30-day unconditional ceasefire starting Monday. The call comes as leaders from France, Germany, Poland, and the United Kingdom arrived in Kyiv to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and discuss peace efforts.

The visit coincides with the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, a symbolic moment that underscores the urgency of ending the ongoing conflict. The European leaders, alongside U.S. President Donald Trump, have emphasized the need for Russia to halt hostilities and engage in meaningful peace negotiations.

Ukraine has already accepted a U.S.-proposed 30-day truce, but Russia has yet to commit, instead offering a three-day ceasefire that Ukraine has dismissed as inadequate. Ukrainian officials insist that a prolonged ceasefire is necessary to create space for diplomatic talks and a lasting resolution to the war.

As discussions continue, the international community watches closely, hoping that this latest effort will pave the way for a just and enduring peace in the region.
