Kyiv has called on Moscow to respond to the proposed ceasefire, which it has agreed to, but the Kremlin says it will wait to be briefed by US officials.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Tuesday that Ukraine had accepted a 30-day ceasefire proposed by the United States, following critical peace talks between US and Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia.

Ukraine yesterday agreed to a temporary ceasefire with Russia after negotiators met in Saudi Arabia. The solution to this war and the way to end it and to achieve the president's objective of peace is to negotiate. But before you can negotiate, you have to stop shooting at each other.
