Volodymyr Zelensky has warned Ukraine’s partners not to let Russia and Vladimir Putin “deceive” them over a ceasefire.
The Ukraine president issued his warning in a video address on Wednesday evening (12 March).
It came following breakthrough talks between Ukrainian and US officials in Saudi Arabia, with Kyiv saying it was ready to accept a proposed 30-day ceasefire.
President Zelensky said: “The key factor is our partners’ ability to ensure Russia’s readiness not to deceive but to genuinely end the war.”
