Ukraine wants a truce with Russia to preserve human lives and restore security. If the ceasefire is mutual, it could be extended.
This was announced by the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Kirill Budanov in Telegram, informs the portal PromPolitInform.
According to Budanov, the truce proposed by Kyiv indicates a real desire to establish peace on the Ukrainian side – without reference to dates, but for the sake of preserving lives and security.
“If the ceasefire that the president announced is mutual, we will continue it. And this will give us a small, but hope for a sustainable peace,” – said the head of the OP.
According to him, with this step, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy proved to the whole world his commitment to ending the war. Now the next step should be taken by Russia.
“Is Moscow ready to prove that human life has at least some value for them? We closely monitor every movement of the enemy and are ready for any development of events,” Budanov drew attention.
Armistice of Ukraine and Russia
Recall, yesterday, May 4, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the order of the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin on a truce with Ukraine on May 8-9 in honor of “Victory Day.”
Moscow took such a step without coordination with Kyiv. Separately, the Russian Federation threatened that if the celebration was disrupted by attacks, a massive missile strike would be launched in the center of the Ukrainian capital.
In response to such an initiative, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Ukraine announces a silence regime with Russia from 00:00 on May 6.
According to him, the Ukrainian military will act in a mirror.
