The media pointed to Europe's plan to convince Kiev not to agree to a truce before May 9.

European countries will urge Ukraine not to accept the truce with Russia before Victory Day. This was reported on April 28 by the newspaper newspaper Advance.

"In the next ten days, European leaders will be in constant contact with Kiev, so that in no case and under no circumstances would he meet Moscow halfway and give her no chance to triumph on May 9," the article says.

In addition, the publication stressed that the Russian side is more ready for peace than Ukraine.
