The UK has urged Russia to agree to Ukraine's full ceasefire proposal after reaching a truce on the Black Sea and energy. Talks were held in Riyadh.
LONDON (Reuters) - Britain urged Russia on Tuesday to agree to the "full, immediate and unconditional ceasefire" proposed by Ukraine after both countries reached a truce covering the Black Sea and energy strikes.
Britain's foreign office said in a statement it was in close contact with the United States and Ukraine following the conclusion of talks in Riyadh. It said it thanked the United States for its efforts brokering the ceasefire accords.
"President Zelenskiy has already shown Ukraine is the party of peace by proposing a full, immediate and unconditional ceasefire," the foreign office said. "We hope that President Putin will agree to this without further delay."
It comes after the office for British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, cited by PA Media, said it was "hopeful of the progress" made so far.
