Declaració conjunta dels líders de França, Alemanya, Polònia, el Regne Unit i Ucraïna després de la seva reunió a Kíev: Els líders van acordar que hi hauria d'haver un alto el foc complet i incondicional durant almenys 30 dies a partir del dilluns 12 de maig. Un alto el foc incondicional, per definició, no pot estar subjecte a cap condició. Si Rússia imposés aquestes condicions, només es podria veure com un intent de prolongar la guerra i soscavar la diplomàcia. Van exigir que l'alto el foc fos integral: a l'aire, al mar i a terra. Van subratllar que això requeriria un seguiment eficaç, que es podria implementar amb èxit en estreta coordinació amb els Estats Units. Van acordar que l'alto el foc hauria de durar almenys 30 dies per crear espai per a la diplomàcia.

Ministre d'Afers Exteriors d'Ucraïna: Després de la reunió de la Coalició dels Voluntaris a Kíiv, els cinc líders @ZelenskyyUa @EmmanuelMacron @bundeskanzler @donaldtusk @Keir_Starmer van tenir una trucada fructífera amb @POTUS centrada en els esforços de pau. Ucraïna i tots els seus aliats estan preparats per a un alto el foc complet i incondicional per terra, aire i mar durant almenys 30 dies a partir de dilluns. Si Rússia hi està d'acord i es garanteix una supervisió eficaç, un alto el foc durador i mesures de foment de la confiança poden aplanar el camí cap a les negociacions de pau.

Macron: Una pau justa i duradora comença amb un alto el foc complet i incondicional. Aquesta és la proposta que estem presentant amb els Estats Units. Ucraïna la va acceptar l'11 de març. Rússia, però, ajorna, estableix condicions prèvies, guanya temps i continua la seva guerra d'invasió. Si Moscou continua obstruint, augmentarem la pressió, junts, com a europeus i en estreta coordinació amb els Estats Units. Acollim amb satisfacció la crida del president Trump a avançar en aquesta direcció.
