On May 8, Trump called on Russia and Ukraine to accept a 30-day truce. According to him, the US administration, together with its partners, will impose sanctions if this initiative is not agreed upon. He noted that he hopes that the ceasefire will be respected by both sides.

The next day, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that a substantive discussion of the 30-day truce between Russia and Ukraine was impossible without taking into account the nuances. In addition, he noted that the Russian Federation welcomes the efforts of each country to resolve the Ukrainian conflict.
