The United Kingdom and France have not agreed on a proposal for a limited ceasefire in Ukraine, according to British officials.

Thus, they go against France's President Emmanuel Macron, who after Sunday's top meeting on Ukraine claimed that Paris and London had agreed to propose a month-long ceasefire "in the air and at sea".

No agreement has been made regarding what a ceasefire would look like, says British Member of Parliament Luke Pollard, highly placed within the Ministry of Defence, to Times Radio.

Another British official says simultaneously to AFP that there is no agreement on a month-long ceasefire on the table.

On Monday, France's Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot says on French radio that a month-long ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine would show if Vladimir Putin is serious about wanting peace, reports The Guardian.
