Andriy Yermak Holds a Series of Online Meetings With Representatives of the United States and European Partners on the Ceasefire

Excerpt:  “Yesterday, Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Yermak, held online meetings with U.S. Special Presidential Envoys Steve Witkoff and Keith Kellogg, as well as with Diplomatic Adviser to the President of France Emmanuel Bonne, National Security Adviser to the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Jonathan Powell, and Foreign Policy and Security Adviser to the Federal Chancellor of Germany Günter Sautter. … The main topic of discussion was the implementation of an unconditional and full ceasefire for 30 days, which Ukraine accepted upon the proposal of the United States during the March meeting in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia). Andriy Yermak emphasized that a full and unconditional ceasefire should be the first stage and a precondition for negotiations aimed at achieving a just and lasting peace. Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin’s proposal for a three-day truce is aimed solely at ensuring the security of the Moscow parade, not at achieving peace. The parties also discussed possible means of exerting pressure on Russia in case it refuses to accept the ceasefire proposal or violates the complete silence agreement.”
