French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Sunday that France and Britain are proposing a one-month truce in Ukraine, covering both air and sea operations. The proposal follows high-level crisis talks in London, where European leaders discussed urgent security measures for the war-torn region.
Speaking after the summit, Macron emphasized the need for a temporary ceasefire to allow for humanitarian aid and diplomatic efforts. “France and Britain are calling for a one-month truce in Ukraine—on land, in the air, and at sea—to create conditions for de-escalation and renewed dialogue,” he said.
The proposal comes amid continued hostilities between Ukraine and Russia, with no immediate signs of a breakthrough in peace negotiations. While Western nations have pledged ongoing support for Kyiv, the truce initiative aims to ease tensions and provide civilians with relief from the ongoing conflict.
It remains unclear whether Russia and Ukraine will agree to the proposed ceasefire. However, France and Britain are expected to push for broader international backing to strengthen the chances of implementation.
