US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated on 12 March that a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine could begin within days if Russia agrees to the proposal.
Source European Pravda with reference to The New York Times Details Rubio said that if Russia rejects the proposal for a monthlong ceasefire, it would be deeply disappointing and itd make their intentions clear.
Heres what wed like the world to look like in a few days Neither side is shooting at each other not rockets, not missiles, not bullets, nothing, not artillery, Rubio told journalists during a refuelling stop in Ireland, en route from Saudi Arabia to Canada. The shooting stops, the fighting stops, and the talking starts, he added.
Rubio also noted that when he and the US delegation met with Russian officials in Saudi Arabia last month, the Russians seemed open to the idea of resolving the war. They expressed a willingness under the right circumstances, which they did not define, to bring an end to this conflict, he explained.
Background Following the talks in Jeddah in Saudi Arabia on 11 March, Ukraine said it is willing to implement a 30day ceasefire, provided that Russia also adheres to it.
