Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "Building on President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's previous contacts, I had a constructive collective call with my colleagues from France, Germany, Poland, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the European Union.
It was critical to began this decisive week with a meaningful conversation in this format about the next steps in advancing peace. I informed colleagues that, according to our military command data, Russia is currently ignoring our ceasefire offer and continuing to attack all along the frontline.
I also reiterated that Ukraine remains fully committed to peace efforts. All of Ukraine's actions demonstrate a constructive approach. I emphasized President Zelenskyy's bold decision to express readiness for a meeting with Putin on Thursday, as well as the lack of a response from the Russian side thus far.
For diplomacy to be effective and to give peace a chance, there needs to be silence on the frontline. This is why a full, unconditional, and durable ceasefire for at least 30 days remains critical.
We coordinated further peace efforts in the coming days, as well as sanctions and other steps that can be taken if Russia continues to reject the ceasefire and peace efforts."
