Italian FM: Unclear how Russia will comply with short ceasefire

This was reported by Ukrinform with reference to ANSA.

“Any signal for peace is important, as I always say, to encourage [all parties to negotiate]. It is unclear how Russia will respect the short truce, and Putin must make a decision to finally end the war he started,” Tajani said.

The Italian foreign minister believes that the Russian leader should respond positively to President Trump's proposal and make a real ceasefire possible.

“Peace must be fair and lasting,” he added.

As Ukrinform reported, Russian leader Vladimir Putin announced a ceasefire in the war against Ukraine during Easter on Saturday, April 19.

In response, Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said that the Russian Federation's refusal of the US proposal for a full temporary ceasefire for 30 days has been going on for 39 days.
