Both countries proposed a 30-day ceasefire, emphasizing that Ukraine is united with its partners in Europe and the U.S. in seeking a lasting resolution.

Ukraine will not settle for a frozen conflict with Russia, says Andriy Yermak, chief of staff to the Ukrainian president, highlighting Kyiv's cooperation with Washington following their joint 30-day ceasefire proposal to end hostilities.

Yermak emphasized the collaborative efforts, revealing that Ukraine and the U.S. have agreed on engaging European participation in the peace process, showcasing that Ukraine is not alone but backed by international allies.
