Ukraine is ready for a truce from the Russian Federation at the time of the Olympiad - the Foreign Ministry

To spread: in Kyiv, italy was supported in Kyiv to introduce a global truce during the Winter Olympic Games, which will be held from February 6 to February 22, 2026 in Milan and Cortini-D'Ampecso (Italy). The Ukrainian side stressed that it was ready to end the fighting even before the Olympiad. According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, official Kiev supports Italy's initiative to proclaim the World Armistice during the Winter Olympic Games in 2026.

This was stated at a briefing by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs George Tykhy. According to the representative of the department, Ukraine has a positive reason for the international call to peace, but reminds that Russia has repeatedly violated the Olympic truce in the past. "We support such a call. But it should be recalled that Russia has launched a number of wars during the Olympic truce.

It attacked Georgia during the Olympics, and the invasion of Ukraine also started during this period," the Tyki said. The spokesman stressed that such actions of Moscow are not accidental, because during world sports events, the attention of international media focuses on competitions, which allows Russia to cover its crimes. According to the quiet, Ukraine is ready for the truce not only during the Olympic Games, but also at any time.

Kyiv, as the diplomat emphasized, has long agreed to the US proposal for ceasefire, but Moscow ignores it. "If Russia requires an" Olympic truce ", then let it be Olympic. But we insist that it happens before the Olympiad. On October 7, Viceremier-Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajano initiated the introduction of the World Armistice during the Winter Olympic Games, which will be held in Milan and Kornini-D'Ampecso.
