Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has rejected Russia's 3-day ceasefire proposal, calling it theatrical, and instead suggests a month-long truce, Euronews reports.
"An unconditional ceasefire is the model proposed by the Americans. We are following that model. Whether it starts on that date or another – ideally earlier. Yes, let's try for 30 days. Why a 30-day ceasefire? Because it's impossible to reach any agreements in three, five, or even seven days," Zelenskyy told reporters on Saturday.
Russian President Vlamdimir Putin had proposed a ceasefire from the 7-9 of May, when foreign representatives have been invited to the annual Victory Day parade in Moscow. Zelenskyy said he would not be able to guarantee attendees' safety at the parade.
