Moscow earlier accused Kiev of continuing attacks despite Russias proposal for a 72-hour truce

Ukraine is ready to declare a 30-day "full unconditional ceasefire" in the conflict with Russia beginning Monday, Foreign Minister Andrey Sibiga has said, adding that US President Donald Trump is being kept in the loop regarding ongoing peace efforts.

Moscow has said it is open to discussing a truce, but insists that it should also include a halt in Western weapons deliveries to Ukraine.

Sibiga made the proposal in a post on X on Saturday after a meeting in Kiev with leaders from France, Germany, Poland, and the UK, and a subsequent call with Trump.

"Ukraine and all allies are ready for a full unconditional ceasefire on land, air, and at sea for at least 30 days starting already on Monday. If Russia agrees and effective monitoring is ensured, a durable ceasefire and confidence-building measures can pave the way to peace negotiations," the minister stated.

The proposal is also supported by the EU, which said that a "pause in hostilities could serve as a vital step toward reducing civilian suffering and allow space for meaningful talks for genuine peace."
