Ukraine warns ceasefire offer to Russia may expire
newsJun 23, 202616921
Ukraine’s UN envoy Andrii Melnyk said Kyiv may withdraw its current ceasefire proposal if the United Nations Security Council fails to pass a resolution urging a full and unconditional end to hostilities. Melnyk made the warning amid a campaign of strikes on Russian logistics and energy targets, including an attack on a Voronezh semiconductor plant and multiple oil facilities that have led to fuel rationing in several regions. Withdrawing the offer would remove a key diplomatic tool for Kyiv, narrow formal avenues for negotiations, and raise the risk of renewed or intensified fighting along the front lines.
