LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Keir Starmer welcomed on Tuesday a 30-day ceasefire proposal that Ukraine has agreed to and said it was now up to Russia to end the fighting.
"As both American and Ukrainian delegations have said, the ball is now in the Russian court," Starmer said in a statement, congratulating both Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and U.S. President Donald Trump for the "remarkable breakthrough".
