Von der Leyen Supports Unconditional 30-Day Ceasefire for Ukraine
“We support the proposal for a full and unconditional 30-day ceasefire. It must be implemented without pre-conditions to pave the way for meaningful peace negotiations,” she said on X, formerly Twitter.
Von der Leyen posted her message as the leaders of France, Germany, Britain, and Poland were visiting Kyiv to show solidarity for Ukraine and ratchet up the pressure on Moscow for a ceasefire.
“The ball is now in Russia’s court. We stand ready to maintain strong pressure on Russia and impose further biting sanctions in the event of a breach of a ceasefire,” said the commission president
The Kremlin has shown no signs of halting its invasion of Ukraine, despite US President Donald Trump pushing for a ceasefire. Moscow warned earlier that there could be no truce unless the West halted arms deliveries to Kyiv.
Von der Leyen said the overall aim was to forge a “just and lasting peace for Ukraine”, which would in turn be vital for security and stability across Europe.
