Head of the Office of the President Kyrylo Budanov stated that the ceasefire introduced by Ukraine demonstrates a genuine desire for peace, and that the Ukrainian side is ready to extend it if it is reciprocated.
He reported this on Telegram.
“The ceasefire introduced by Ukraine demonstrates a true desire for peace on our part. Not tied to any dates for the sake of imposing ideological dogmas, but for the sake of preserving human life and restoring security. If the ceasefire announced by the President is mutual, we will extend it. And this will give us, albeit a small, but still hope for the establishment of lasting peace,” he wrote.
Budanov noted that the President of Ukraine, through this step, has shown the world his commitment to peace.
“The next step is up to Russia. Is Moscow ready to prove that human life has at least some value for them? We are closely monitoring every move of the enemy and are ready for any development of events,” he added.
