President Volodymyr Zelenskiy says Ukraine is ready for a maritime truce in the Black Sea. He links the proposal to ideas advanced by Egypt, India and Turkey, and says Ukraine is now waiting for Russia to respond, according to reports covering his remarks.
Zelenskiy delivers the message during the United Nations General Assembly period and in the lead-up to further diplomatic and Security Council discussions related to Russia’s war in Ukraine. One report places his comments at Ukraine’s Crimean Platform summit on the sidelines of the UN gathering, ahead of a Security Council meeting focused on Russia’s actions in Ukraine. Across outlets, the core message remains that Ukraine supports the truce framework and expects Russia to indicate its position.
