West Prepares Ceasefire Proposal Amidst Tensions in Ukraine

The United States, along with its European allies, is on the brink of finalizing a proposal for a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine. If Russia refuses the proposal, it could face new sanctions from these nations, according to a French diplomatic source on Friday.

The proposal, which is yet to receive a definitive green light, will be a key topic of discussion at a summit scheduled in Ukraine over the weekend. This development comes as tensions continue to escalate in the region.

Diplomatic efforts are being mobilized to address the crisis, and the outcome of the summit will be closely watched globally. Allies hope that a ceasefire could pave the way for more sustainable peace talks.
