President John Dramani Mahama has expressed support for calls for a 30-day ceasefire in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, describing it as a crucial step toward achieving lasting peace.
His comments were made during a credentials ceremony at the Presidency, where five newly accredited ambassadors to Ghana presented their letters.
During a conversation with the Ambassador of the Republic of Italy, Laura Ranalli, President Mahama shared his optimism that the ceasefire could pave the way for meaningful dialogue and negotiations.
“We are pleased to note President Volodymyr Zelensky’s call for a 30-day ceasefire. We hope this will pave the way for dialogue to begin, and that the issue between Russia and Ukraine can be addressed during that period,” he stated.
He also underscored the devastating impact of the war, particularly on young people, stressing the need for an immediate resolution.
“A lot of young people have lost their lives, and it’s time for this war to end. The only way for it to end is through a ceasefire and the start of dialogue. That’s our position on the matter,” he added.
