The Republic of Moldova calls on the Russian Federation to accept the ceasefire in Ukraine

The Republic of Moldova urges the Russian Federation to agree to the 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine, which was proposed by Washington and accepted by Kyiv. In a social media statement, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Mihai Popșoi expressed his appreciation for the "progress" made during the peace negotiations held on March 11 in Saudi Arabia.

The Republic of Moldova calls upon the Russian Federation to accept the ceasefire and demonstrate a similar commitment to peace.

Ukraine announced late Tuesday that it would support a U.S. proposal for a 30-day ceasefire in its war with Russia. In return, the United States agreed to resume intelligence and military aid to Kiev.

After more than eight hours of negotiations with Ukrainian officials in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. would present the jointly signed proposal to Moscow: “The ball is now in Russia’s court.”

President Zelensky confirmed in a video address late Tuesday that Ukraine, which had initially called for an air and sea ceasefire, now agrees with Washington’s proposal for a 30-day ceasefire on the front lines.

European Union leaders on Tuesday evening called for security guarantees for Ukraine, and President Maia Sandu welcomed the progress between Ukraine and the United States and stressed the importance of these efforts for a just and lasting peace.

The Russian Foreign Ministry said Tuesday, after the talks in Saudi Arabia, that it does not rule out contacts with representatives of the United States. Today, Putin’s adviser, Dmitry Peskov, urged journalists “not to rush” with the question of Russia’s reaction to the proposed 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine.

On March 12, the Polish Foreign Minister confirmed the resumption of US military aid to Ukraine via Poland, suspended after the row between Trump and Zelensky in the Oval Office two weeks ago.
