Gemensamt uttalande från ledarna för Frankrike, Tyskland, Polen, Storbritannien och Ukraina efter deras möte i Kyiv: Ledarna enades om att det bör råda ett fullständigt och ovillkorligt vapenvila i minst 30 dagar från och med måndagen den 12 maj. Ett ovillkorligt vapenvila kan per definition inte vara villkorat. Om Ryssland skulle införa sådana villkor skulle det bara kunna ses som ett försök att förlänga kriget och undergräva diplomatin. De krävde att vapenvilan skulle vara heltäckande: i luften, till sjöss och på land. De betonade att detta skulle kräva effektiv övervakning, som framgångsrikt skulle kunna genomföras i nära samarbete med USA. De enades om att vapenvilan skulle vara i minst 30 dagar för att skapa utrymme för diplomati.

Ukrainas utrikesminister: Efter mötet med Koalitionen av de Villiga i Kyiv hade alla fem ledare @ZelenskyyUa @EmmanuelMacron @bundeskanzler @donaldtusk @Keir_Starmer ett givande samtal med @POTUS med fokus på fredsarbetet. Ukraina och alla allierade är redo för ett fullständigt ovillkorligt vapenvila på land, i luften och till sjöss i minst 30 dagar med början redan på måndag. Om Ryssland går med på det och effektiv övervakning säkerställs kan ett varaktigt vapenvila och förtroendeskapande åtgärder bana väg för fredsförhandlingar.
