Russia has so far insisted that before considering truce, the West must first stop their military assistance in Ukraine.
However, Zelenksy said a truce should be unconditional.
“Attempts to present any conditions would be evidence of the intention to extend the war and undermine diplomacy,” he added.
Macron said that the planned truce would be overseed mostly the United States, with the help of European countries. He said in the case of offenses, “Mass sanctions would be prepared and coordinated between Europeans and Americans.”
Merz said war – who started with full invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. – was “exclusively the war of Russia’s aggression, in violation of international law.”

The willing coalition was formed to strengthen any eventual peace agreement with security guarantees, including the possibility of placing troops in Ukraine.
Trump reiterated the call on the unconditional 30-day cessation of the fire after a telephone call with Zelenia.
