In response to the statement by Russian leader Vladimir Putin about another short ceasefire, the UN has stated that it wants to see an end to Russias war against Ukraine based on international law and the organisations Charter.
Source Ukrinform, citing Stphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the UN SecretaryGeneral Quote Our position remains the same, that we want to see an end to the war, but we need to see an end to the war that remains principled and consistent and firmly grounded in the UN Charter, in international law, in line with all the relevant resolutions..
Details Dujarric emphasised that peace must be lasting and include the recognition of Ukraines sovereignty and territorial integrity.
He also added that the UN appreciates any efforts to resolve the war in Ukraine that are in line with our position, which has been stated many, many, many, many times.
In response to a question regarding the participation of North Korean troops in Russias war against Ukraine, which has been acknowledged by both the Russian Federation and North Korea, Dujarric responded briefly I think any internationalisation of any conflict is not a move in the right direction.
Background The Kremlin reported that Putin had unilaterally declared a ceasefire on the 80th anniversary of Victory Day.
White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt commented on Putins announcement of a truce timed to coincide with Victory Day.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also commented on the statement by Putin about a ceasefire from 8 to 10 May and stated that Ukraine needs not a temporary ceasefire for the sake of a parade in Moscow, but a full and immediate cessation of hostilities for at least 30 days.
