Kyiv: Ukraine has shown it is willing to adopt a ceasefire and now Russia must respond, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Wednesday, a day after US and Ukrainian officials agreed to put a truce proposal to Moscow.

"Everything depends on whether Russia wants a ceasefire and silence, or it wants to continue killing people," Zelensky said at a press conference in Kyiv, adding: "Ukraine has demonstrated its position... and today Russia has to respond to this."
