Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed the need for clarity regarding a proposed short-term ceasefire by Russia, which was mentioned during a recent phone call between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin on April 29. Zelenskyy stated that while Ukraine is open to discussions, it seeks a long-term ceasefire that guarantees security and peace for its people. He instructed Ukrainian representatives to reach out to the US team to better understand the nature of Russia's proposal, questioning if it is merely a temporary measure for events in Moscow or a step towards lasting peace. Trump's comments suggest a possible shift in Russia's stance, indicating that Putin may be ready to negotiate a ceasefire, although external factors have previously complicated such discussions.
