Zelensky's Ceasefire Proposal
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had announced that he proposed observing a ceasefire with Russia during the process in which US envoys will visit Moscow and Kiev.
Zelensky stated that no airstrikes would be launched from their side, and that Russia should likewise ensure a ceasefire by not conducting airstrikes reciprocally during the talks.

Speaking in the Oval Office, Trump stated that he knows Putin well and argued that the Russian leader has no intention of attacking NATO territory.
