Ukraine, EU leaders push for ceasefire as fighting with Russia escalates

Ukrainian and European leaders meeting in Kyiv have jointly called for an immediate and unconditional 30-day ceasefire to end the war. Leaders from Ukraine, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Poland are urging the truce to begin on May 12. The proposal also has the support of US President Donald Trump, who joined the talks via phone. The group warned of ‘massive’ sanctions against Russia if it refuses to comply.

Al Jazeera’s Zein Basravi reports live from Kyiv. Meanwhile, Aaron Gasch Burnett, a Senior Fellow at the Democratic Strategy Initiative in Berlin, says Russian President Vladimir Putin is unlikely to accept the plan.
