Ukraine is ready for a partial ceasefire on a number of frontlines, the German newspaper Bild reported, citing sources close to the Ukrainian authorities. According to the publication, President Volodymyr Zelensky plans to convey his plan for ending hostilities on certain frontlines to the United States, including President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and former President Donald Trump. These talks are expected to take place during face-to-face meetings with American leaders.
The main goal of the plan is to stabilize the situation in a number of areas where Ukraine is facing the most intense fighting. Zelensky suggests that a ceasefire could help reduce casualties and open up new opportunities for a political settlement of the conflict. However, according to sources, the final details of the plan have not yet been disclosed and depend on the agreement of all parties involved in the negotiations.
Bild notes that the US is considering temporary agreements that would buy time for discussions on a longer-term peace process. However, the success of the talks will depend on many factors, including Russia's position.
