The task comes from a high-ranking Ukrainian official ahead of the negotiations planned with the USA on Tuesday.
Such a proposal for a ceasefire is easy to implement and monitor, and it is a possible first step (in the talks to achieve a ceasefire), says the official, emphasizing that the "only reason" for the Russian invasion war to continue is Russia's decision to continue the war.
The US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says he "looks hopefully" at the proposal.
I'm not saying it's enough on its own, but it's the kind of concessions needed to put an end to the conflict, he says on his way to Saudi Arabia for a meeting with Ukrainian representatives.
The proposal for a limited ceasefire was previously put forward by French President Emmanuel Macron directly after the summit with mainly European leaders in London on March 2 – the day after the failed meeting at the White House.
