Britain has called on Russia to commit to a full ceasefire in Ukraine and not just a one-day pause.
The British foreign ministry made the call in a statement on Saturday.
DAILY POST reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier in the day, after Washington said it might abandon peace talks within days unless Moscow and Kyiv show they are ready to stop the war.
A British foreign ministry spokesperson said a pause would enable negotiations for a just and enduring peace.
“Ukraine has committed to a full ceasefire. We urge Russia to do the same,” the spokesperson said.
According to the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office in its statement, “Now is the moment for Putin to show he is serious about peace by ending his horrible invasion.”
