Zelenski Proposes 60-Day Ceasefire for Elections, Citing Trump's Comments

Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski proposed a 60-day ceasefire with Russia as a condition for organizing elections. The statement followed criticism from Donald Trump against Ukraine's leadership and attacks on Russian refineries. The proposal was reported by two Ukrainian outlets.
