Ukraine and its allies push for a 30-day ceasefire starting Monday
Fox News
France, UK, Germany, and Poland leaders call for 30-day unconditional ceasefire in Ukraine, with sanctions threats if Russia refuses. US President Donald Trump signals support for the initiative.
The demand was announced in a joint press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and countries leading the so-called "coalition of the willing": a group of over 30 countries who have pledged to strengthen Ukraine to deter Russian aggression. They included French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who on Saturday traveled to Ukraine together for the first time.
The ceasefire would include a halt to fighting on land, sea and in the air. The leaders threatened to ratchet up sanctions, including on Russia’s energy and banking sectors, if Putin did not comply.
