Zelenskyy issued a statement regarding Russia's proposal about the May 9 armistice
On April 30, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that he had instructed officials to establish contact with the U.S. team to clarify the terms of the Russian initiative for a short-term ceasefire. Ukraine emphasizes the need for a long-term ceasefire and lasting peace.
The head of state announced this in his Telegram post.
The Ukrainian leader wrote the following:
I have instructed our representatives to contact the team of the President of the United States and clarify the details of the Russian proposal for a short-term ceasefire. Ukraine seeks peace and is undertaking the necessary diplomatic efforts to bring this war to a real end. We will find out exactly what this entails: a few hours of security for a parade in Moscow, or something more. Our proposal is to establish a long-term ceasefire, guarantee reliable security for the people, and achieve lasting peace. Ukraine is ready to work toward this in any dignified and effective format.
As a reminder, Putin proposed a ceasefire in Ukraine to Trump for May 9.
Prior to this, in Tuapse, residents were urged to evacuate following a drone attack (video).
Residents of the Russian city of Tuapse are increasingly complaining about unbearable living conditions in the frontline city. Once a popular resort, it has turned into an area of environmental disaster and constant danger due to regular explosions at local industrial facilities.
In Tuapse, Russia, while cleaning up the aftermath of an oil spill, the city beach was covered with a new layer of pebbles. At the same time, local residents and environmentalists claim that traces of fuel oil are still visible near the water and that a full cleanup has not taken place.
