US President Donald Trump has commented on Russian President Vladimir Putin' s statement on the cessation of hostilities for 30 days.

In particular, he believes that Vladimir Putin made a promising statement, but it was not complete.

«Putin made a promising statement, but it was not complete. I would like to see a ceasefire on the part of Russia. We hope that Russia will do the right thing. I am ready to talk to him. [...] Many details of the final agreement have already been discussed. Now we will see if Russia agrees, and if not, it will be a very disappointing moment for the world», said Donald Trump.

As you know, today, 13 March, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that he agrees with the proposal to end hostilities in Ukraine, but this should guarantee «long-term peace».

As a reminder, on 11 March, a Ukrainian delegation met with US representatives in Saudi Arabia. After the meeting, the head of the President's Office, Andrii Yermak, said that Ukraine had expressed its readiness to accept the US proposal for a temporary ceasefire for 30 days.

For his part, Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that Ukraine accepts the US proposal for a temporary ceasefire for 30 days, now «if Russians agree, the silence will work».

Earlier, during a speech to Congress, US President Donald Trump said he had received a letter from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. According to Donald Trump, the letter states that Ukraine «is ready to sit down at the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring a sustainable peace», as well as to sign an agreement on minerals.

It should also be recalled that the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine is ready to sign a minerals agreement between Ukraine and the United States at any time and in any convenient format.
