Western leaders demand ceasefire, Medvedev lashes out
The leaders of four European countries, Ukraine, and the United States are demanding that Russia agree to a 30-day ceasefire to initiate peace talks. Dmitry Medvedev has already responded to these politicians in a vulgar manner.
"We call for a 30-day ceasefire in the Russian-Ukrainian war. Putin must respond to this offer, and if he does not, sanctions will be tightened," declared German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in an interview with the German daily "Bild" on Saturday. Emmanuel Macron made similar calls.
Conversation of five leaders with Trump
"Ukraine and all allies are ready for a full unconditional ceasefire on land, air, and at sea for at least 30 days starting already on Monday," reported Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha on the X platform on Saturday.
Leaders participating in the so-called "coalition of the willing"—Prime Minister Donald Tusk, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who were present in Kyiv—discussed this matter by phone with US President Donald Trump.
Andrii Sybiha added that if Russia agrees to a ceasefire, it could eventually lead to peace negotiations.
Ceasefire proposal. Medvedev's vulgar response
Russia has already issued its first response. The Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, known for his scandalous comments directed at leaders of other countries, has not changed his tone.
"Macron, Merz, Starmer, and Tusk were supposed to discuss peace in Kiev. Instead, they are blurting out threats against Russia. Either a truce for the respite of Banderite hordes or new sanctions. You think that’s smart, eh? Shove these peace plans up your pangender ar**s!" Medvedev wrote on the X platform.
Many pieces of information provided by Russian media or authorities are elements of propaganda. Such reports are part of the information war conducted by the Russian Federation.
