Foreign Minister of Ukraine Dmitry Sibiga explained the position of Ukraine on the 30-day ceasefire proposed by the United States. According to him, this is an attempt to start the way to end the war in a fair way, not to create a frozen conflict.
Sibiga stressed that a 30-day truce is a step that should show who is really interested in peace. Ukraine agreed to this ceasefire, subject to mutual consent from Russia.
“It is only an attempt to start the way to end the war in a fair way. It is also a step that demonstrates who is actually interested in peace, ”the official said.
In his statement, Sibiga stressed that the initiative provides an immediate resumption of US exchange and military assistance to Ukraine. In addition, the United States sent a positive signal to sign a mineral resource agreement, which is associated with guarantees of long -term prosperity and security of Ukraine.
"This is what the Ukrainian side wanted," the minister stressed.
Sibiga noted that in the statement, particular attention was paid to the release of prisoners, civilians and the return of Ukrainian children. This was one of Ukraine's fundamental positions.
The minister also emphasized the importance of attracting European partners to any peace talks.
"We follow the position: no decisions on long -term safety of Europe without Europe," Sibiga added.
Sibiga stressed that the Ukrainian forces continue to carry out combat missions. A temporary ceasefire can only work if Russia is accepted and simultaneously.
"The temporary ceasefire will work only if the adoption and simultaneous execution of Russia," the minister summed up.
