Zelensky handed over to the Holy See a list of Ukrainians held in prisons and camps in Russia. He emphasized that he counts on support for their release.
"The exchange of prisoners and an unconditional 30-day full interim ceasefire are the first quick steps that could significantly bring us closer to a just and lasting peace. Ukraine is ready to take these steps because the Ukrainian people want peace more than anyone. Meanwhile, the world sees how Russia is deliberately setting conditions that only complicate and drag out the process, as Russia is the only party that wants the war to continue and diplomacy to break down," Zelensky noted.
According to him, the voice of the Holy See is very important on the path to peace.
Earlier, Zelensky explained the purpose of 30-day ceasefire.
Earlier, it was reported that Donald Trump stated that he hoped that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin would agree to a ceasefire.
