Reference Message Network reported on April 20th according to a report by Reuters on April 19th, the UK Foreign Office stated in a statement on the same day that the UK has urged Russia to commit to a comprehensive ceasefire in Ukraine "rather than just a one-day ceasefire".
It was reported that earlier that day, Russian President Putin announced a 30-hour unilateral Easter ceasefire in Ukraine. Previously, the US had indicated that unless Moscow and Kiev showed readiness for a ceasefire, it might abandon peace talks within days.
A spokesperson for the UK Foreign Office said, "Ukraine has committed to a comprehensive ceasefire. We urge Russia to do the same." The spokesperson added that the ceasefire would create conditions for negotiations to achieve a fair and lasting peace.
The statement said that now is the time for Putin to show that he is serious about peace. (Translated by Wu Mei)
