US President Donald Trump on Wednesday said that negotiators are currently heading to Moscow to propose a 30-day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.
“We’ve got people going to Russia right now,” Trump said, after confirming that envoys had been sent to present the Ukraine truce deal to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Trump expressed hope that Putin would agree to the US proposal, which Ukraine has already accepted. “I hope he’s going to have a ceasefire,” the US President told reporters at the White House.
Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that the United States would issue a “strong” response and pressure Moscow if it rejected the ceasefire, which has already led to tens of thousands of lives lost.
Meanwhile, the Kremlin, in its first comments on the proposal, confirmed that it is awaiting more information from Washington.
