Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy used the ceasefire in the Middle East to again call for a halt to fighting in Ukraine.
“A ceasefire is the right decision that leads to ending the war, Zelenskyy said in a post on X, adding that an agreement which “paves the way for diplomatic efforts would save lives and stop the destruction of cities.
“Security must be guaranteed, and the interests of every nation must be taken into account when defining post-war arrangements,” Zelenskyy said, calling for freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
Ukraine has “always called for a ceasefire” in the war with Russia and Kyiv would respond in kind if Moscow stops its strikes, he said.
Ceasefire efforts in Ukraine have yielded no results, with both sides continuing long-range strikes.
