Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that a ceasefire with Russia is possible at any moment.
Zelenskyy, speaking at a joint news conference in Prague alongside Czech President Petr Pavel, also said that Ukraine hopes to receive 1.8 million shells in 2025 under a Czech initiative to provide military assistance.
“We believe that without increased pressure, Russia will not take real practical steps to end the war. Today marks the 54th day that Russia has ignored even the American proposal to completely cease fire,” Zelenskyy said.
“We believe that a ceasefire is possible at any moment, even starting today, and should last at least 30 days to give diplomacy a real chance.”
Vladimir Putin on Monday declared a three-day ceasefire to mark the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Soviet Union and its allies over Nazi Germany in the Second World War.
The 72-hour ceasefire will run when Putin hosts international leaders on Moscow’s Red Square, including Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Responding to the offer, Zelenskyy said he was ready as long as the ceasefire would be 30 days in length.
