White House wants to reach ceasefire deal by April 20, won’t agree to limit aid to Ukraine - Bloomberg
Despite Moscow's demands, the White House has not yet agreed to any restrictions on the supply of military aid to Ukraine.
According to Censor.NET, Bloomberg reports this with reference to anonymous sources familiar with the planning.
According to the publication, the White House is seeking to conclude a ceasefire agreement by April 20, which falls on Easter this year, but admits that the deadline may be shifted given the wide gaps between the positions of the two sides.
"Russia has put forward maximalist demands for any deal, including a halt to arms shipments to Ukraine, a position that Kyiv and its allies have rejected. According to the sources, the White House, which briefly suspended vital weapons shipments earlier this month to put pressure on Ukraine, has not agreed to any restrictions so far," the report said.
"We are working toward a ceasefire and a lasting peace," White House spokesman Brian Hughes said.
"We will not disclose the terms of the discussions or timelines to the media," he added.
Earlier, US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff said that the US, Ukraine, and Russia are supposedly close to discussing a permanent ceasefire.
As a reminder, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US President Donald Trump agreed to continue working together to achieve a real end to the war and establish a lasting peace.
