Agrees to Trump Administration&#039;s Cease-Fire ...\">30-day ceasefire<\/a> in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The summit, part of a coalition aimed at strengthening Ukraine&#8217;s defense against Russia, proposed a ceasefire to commence on May 12, along with potential sanctions against Russia if it refuses compliance.Zelensky stated that the ceasefire should include air, sea, and land operations and may require monitoring to ensure adherence. He noted a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >constructive post-summit conversation<\/a> with U.S. President Trump, who aligned with the ceasefire framework. As the peace talks enter a critical phase, with previous ceasefires being violated, there is uncertainty about Russia&#8217;s response to the proposal.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">European leaders huddle in Kyiv for summit, push for 30-day ceasefire<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2115752\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Leaders of four <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/europe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">European <\/a>countries met with Ukrainian President <a href=\"http:\/\/washigntonexaminer.com\/tag\/volodymyr-zelensky\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Volodymyr Zelensky<\/a> in Kyiv for a summit earlier Saturday, during which they urged an &ldquo;immediate, full, and unconditional&rdquo; 30-day ceasefire in the Ukraine war.<\/p>\n<p>The leaders of France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Poland gathered in Ukraine&rsquo;s capital city for a meeting of the &ldquo;coalition of the willing,&rdquo; a 31-member coalition designed to strengthen Ukraine&rsquo;s defense against <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/russia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Russia <\/a>in its over three-year war.
