In a bid to de-escalate ongoing tensions, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy of Ukraine reaffirmed Ukraine's commitment to a 30-day ceasefire proposal with Russia. Speaking during his nightly video address, Zelenskiy highlighted Ukraine's openness to diplomatic solutions despite a lack of response from the Russian side.

The Ukrainian leader's announcement came just hours ahead of a three-day ceasefire proposed by Russia, intended to commemorate the victory over Nazi Germany in World War Two. Zelenskiy underscored Ukraine's patience and persistence in seeking peace through diplomatic avenues.

Amidst discussions, Zelenskiy acknowledged Ukrainian drone activity targeting Russian sites, implying that Russian skies are not tranquil either. This statement reflects the ongoing tensions despite the potential for a temporary peace initiative.
