President John Dramani Mahama has endorsed calls for a ceasefire in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, describing the 30-day initiative as a crucial step toward lasting peace.
His remarks came during a credentials ceremony at the Presidency, where five newly accredited ambassadors to Ghana presented their letters.
In a discussion with the Ambassador of the Republic of Italy, Laura Ranalli, President Mahama expressed optimism that the ceasefire could create an opportunity for meaningful dialogue.
“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.
