Ukraine has begun assembling a team to develop monitoring mechanisms for a possible 30-day ceasefire, Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said on March 14.
"We have already started forming a national team to develop appropriate processes to properly control a possible ceasefire. This is an extremely complex process," Sybiha said at a press conference with Austrian Foreign Minister Beate Meinl-Reisinger in Kyiv.
Kyiv agreed to the U.S.-proposed truce during talks in Jeddah on March 11, contingent on Russian adherence. The talks also led to Washington resuming military and intelligence support for Ukraine.
Sybiha said that upon returning from Jeddah, Ukrainian officials briefed President Volodymyr Zelensky on the discussions. He emphasized that Ukraine's 1,300-kilometer (800-mile) front line presents logistical challenges for ceasefire enforcement.
Ukraine remains wary of Russian violations, citing its experience with the Minsk agreements, which Russia breached 25 times. "So now everything will be aimed at ensuring that the Ukrainian side is ready with the appropriate teams, developments, and modalities," Sybiha said.
