Ukraine will seek clarification from U.S. President Donald Trump's team on details of Russia's short-term ceasefire proposal, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Thursday.


"We will clarify what exactly this is about – a few hours of security for a parade in Moscow, or something more," he said in a post on X.


Zelenskiy added that Ukraine's proposal is for a long-term ceasefire, "reliable and guaranteed security for people, and a lasting peace."
