Dichiarazione congiunta dei leader di Francia, Germania, Polonia, Regno Unito e Ucraina a seguito del loro incontro a Kyiv: i leader hanno concordato che vi sia un cessate il fuoco completo e incondizionato per almeno 30 giorni a partire da lunedì 12 maggio. Un cessate il fuoco incondizionato, per definizione, non può essere soggetto ad alcuna condizione. Se la Russia dovesse imporre tali condizioni, ciò potrebbe essere visto solo come un tentativo di prolungare la guerra e minare la diplomazia. Hanno chiesto che il cessate il fuoco sia completo: in aria, in mare e sulla terraferma. Hanno sottolineato che ciò richiederebbe un monitoraggio efficace, che potrebbe essere implementato con successo in stretto coordinamento con gli Stati Uniti. Hanno concordato che il cessate il fuoco debba durare almeno 30 giorni per creare spazio per la diplomazia.

Ministro degli Esteri ucraino: Dopo l'incontro della Coalizione dei Volentieri a Kyiv, tutti e cinque i leader @ZelenskyyUa @EmmanuelMacron @bundeskanzler @donaldtusk @Keir_Starmer hanno avuto una proficua chiamata con il Presidente degli Stati Uniti (POTUS) incentrata sugli sforzi di pace. L'Ucraina e tutti gli alleati sono pronti per un cessate il fuoco totale e incondizionato su terra, aria e mare per almeno 30 giorni a partire già da lunedì. Se la Russia accetterà e verrà garantito un monitoraggio efficace, un cessate il fuoco duraturo e misure di rafforzamento della fiducia potranno aprire la strada ai negoziati di pace.
