US Calls on Putin to Accept Ukraine Ceasefire at UN

 

US Calls on Putin to Accept Ukraine Ceasefire at UN The United States urged the United Nations Security Council that Russia's President Vladimir Putin should accept a proposed ceasefire in Ukraine. The US proposal calls for a comprehensive 30-day land, air, sea, and critical infrastructure truce, which Ukraine has accepted but Russia has not yet officially responded to. Acting Deputy U.S. Ambassador John Kelley emphasized that this is Russia’s best chance for a peaceful resolution and warned that continuing the war could lead to further sanctions and diplomatic setbacks. Russia has indicated willingness to negotiate, with Moscow proposing a settlement outline, but Kyiv insists Russia has yet to share its full proposal. Diplomats warn that Russia's actions, including recent attacks, demonstrate a lack of genuine intent for peace, and Ukraine remains committed to diplomacy while resisting territorial concessions.
