Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said a period of monitored “silence” on the frontline should come before the start of the 30-day truce proposed by the US.

The martial law, which prevents Kyiv from holding presidential elections, can only be lifted after both sides implement a step-by-step plan to end the war, the president told reporters on Wednesday. The details of that plan would be worked out during the 30-day truce, Zelenskiy said.
