Zelensky: We expect a ceasefire from tomorrow - complete and lasting, to provide the necessary basis for diplomacy. There is no point in dragging out the killings. And I will wait for Putin on Thursday in Turkey. Personally. I hope that this time the Russians will not look for reasons why they cannot.

Zelensky: This is a good sign that the Russians have finally thinking about ending the war. Everyone in the world has been waiting for this for a very long time. And the very first step in the real end of any war is a ceasefire. There is no point in continuing the killings even for a day. We expect Russia to confirm a ceasefire – complete, lasting and reliable – starting tomorrow, May 12, and Ukraine is ready to meet
The US have approved a transfer of 125 HIMARS missiles and 100 Patriot missiles to Ukraine. The missiles have been part of German inventories, but needed approval from Washington. They are already on their way to Ukraine. Source: NYT
Joint statement by the leaders of France, Germany, Poland, the United Kingdom and Ukraine following their meeting in Kyiv: The leaders agreed that there should be a complete and unconditional ceasefire for at least 30 days from Monday, May 12. An unconditional ceasefire, by definition, cannot be subject to any conditions. If Russia were to impose such conditions, it could only be seen as an attempt to prolong the war and undermine diplomacy. They demanded that the ceasefire be comprehensive: in the air, at sea and on land. They stressed that this would require effective monitoring, which could be successfully implemented in close coordination with the United States. They agreed that the ceasefire should last at least 30 days to create space for diplomacy
Ukrainian MFA: Regarding the detention of a Ukrainian national in downtown Budapest. When evidence runs out, the witch hunt begins. It is high time Hungarian authorities put an end to the senseless anti-Ukrainian hysteria
Foreign Minister of Ukraine: Following the Coalition of the Willing meeting in Kyiv, all five leaders @ZelenskyyUa @EmmanuelMacron @bundeskanzler @donaldtusk @Keir_Starmer had a fruitful call with @POTUS focused on peace efforts. Ukraine and all allies are ready for a full unconditional ceasefire on land, air, and at sea for at least 30 days starting already on Monday. If Russia agrees and effective monitoring is ensured, a durable ceasefire and confidence-building measures can pave the way to peace negotiations.
WSJ: Trump told donors he's frustrated by how hard ending Ukraine war has been, even losing sleep over it. He asked if Putin has changed, surprised by strikes on areas with kids. Putin, he says, has been tough in talks and wants “everything.”
