“A real ceasefire is necessary. Ukraine is ready for silence to settle at any time, but for at least a month, in order to end the war,” said the Ukrainian head of state. “If there is silence, it must be daily. If there is a cease-fire, it will not be for their vacation, but for each day. I thank all our partners who continue to support Ukraine and to put pressure on Russia.”
