Selenskyj proposes new fire break for civilian objects

The 30-hour fire break in the Russian war against Ukraine announced by Kremlin chief Putin was repeatedly broken. But her President Selenskyj could still get something positive.

The Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj sees the chances of a new ceasefire, despite his massive criticism of the many violations of the fire break scheduled by Kreml boss Vladimir Putin. Selenskyj welcomed for the second time within a day that, regardless of more than 2,000 violations of Putin’s fire break at Easter, there was no air alarm. He therefore proposed to exclude attacks with drones, marching aircraft and rockets on civilian objects for at least 30 days.

That would be a compromise after Russia had not agreed to a general longer ceasefire. Selenskyj had requested this for 30 days after the announced Easter arms rest on Sunday. According to Kremlin, Putin gave no command for that.

“If Russia does not consent to such a step, this would be proof that it would only take measures, destroy human life and extend the war,” said Selenskyj to his new proposal. Although he once again complained about numerous violations of Putin himself on Saturday, he was defended by the fight for 30 hours, but made it clear that there were opportunities for a thematically limited ceasefire.

Selenskyj had pointed out twice in his balance sheets for the fire break to the missing air alarm. “This is a form of ceasefire that has been achieved and that is easiest to extend,” he said.

Ukraine complains in the war, which has been going on for more than three years, especially with massive damage to energy systems and civil infrastructure almost every day. Civilians die again and again, or they are injured. Russia always emphasizes that it only attacks military goals, but pictures show almost every day of hits in houses or other civil objects.
