Kyiv Calls For Ukraine Ceasefire After Iran Truce

Kyiv on Wednesday called on the United States to pressure Russia into ending its invasion of Ukraine, saying Washington's ceasefire agreement with Iran showed the success of US "decisiveness." 

The war in the Middle East suspended US-led efforts to end the four-year Ukraine war. The Kremlin also said it now hoped a new round of talks with US and Ukrainian delegations would be possible after Tehran and Washington agreed a two-week ceasefire.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga



wrote on social media: "American decisiveness works. 

We believe it is time for sufficient decisiveness to force Moscow to cease fire and end its war against Ukraine." President Volodymyr Zelensky echoed those comments in a later post on social media. 

"Ukraine has always called for a ceasefire in the war waged by Russia here in Europe against our state and our people, and we support the ceasefire in the Middle East and the Gulf that paves the way for diplomatic efforts," he wrote.
