Zelenskyy Proposes Ceasefire-First Model for Ukraine-Russia Conflict Resolution on June 7

According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on June 7, Ukraine proposed a new conflict resolution framework centered on an immediate ceasefire and maintenance of current battle lines, followed by diplomatic negotiations to resolve disputes. Zelenskyy emphasized this approach is the fastest way to end the military conflict while protecting civilian lives. He clarified that the ceasefire does not constitute territorial concessions, but aims to preserve Ukrainian citizens' safety and create conditions for subsequent peace talks.

The ceasefire must be comprehensive, verifiable, and monitored by international partners including the United States and Europe, Zelenskyy stated. He added that the ceasefire is a phase one measure, not an endpoint; after implementation, diplomatic negotiations should immediately commence to reach a long-term solution to end the war.
