The U.S. urges Russia to accept a ceasefire and supports direct talks set for next week in Istanbul.
The United States has told the United Nations Security Council that its ceasefire plan is Russia’s best possible outcome and urged President Vladimir Putin to accept it. Washington warned that if Moscow continues the war, it may withdraw from negotiations and consider additional sanctions.
The proposal calls for an immediate, unconditional 30-day ceasefire.
Looking ahead, the White House says President Donald Trump hopes for a direct meeting between Russian and Ukrainian officials in Istanbul on Monday. White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said on Thursday, “It is our hope that Russia and Ukraine will engage in direct talks next week in Istanbul... a meeting the president encouraged and urged for these two sides to come together and negotiate directly.”
She added that the president has made it clear he wants the conflict resolved at the negotiating table, not on the battlefield.
