Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy proposed a 60-day complete ceasefire to facilitate presidential elections, arguing a truce is necessary to ensure population safety and allow citizens in occupied territories to vote. This proposal follows comments from U.S. President Donald Trump, who suggested that Ukraine needs a new leader. Under current martial law, national elections in Ukraine are not permitted. The Kremlin rejected this, with spokesperson Dmitry Peskov suggesting Russia would only consider a one-day ceasefire on the day of the ~~elections.~~ elections, dismissing the request as a tactic to allow Ukrainian forces to rearm and regroup. Subsequent negotiations have faced skepticism from Moscow. The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that ceasefire initiatives lack concrete mechanisms to prevent future arms supplies to Kyiv and do not offer sufficient guarantees for long-term stability across maritime, energy, and aerial sectors. Russia has also demanded commercial guarantees regarding the unhindered export of oil and agricultural products through the Black Sea. In related developments, Ukrainian officials have called for Europe to utilize frozen Russian assets to support the country, citing Russia's increased defense spending. Meanwhile, some European politicians have criticized Zelenskyy, alleging that the prolongation of the conflict serves to avoid political accountability and corruption investigations.
