US, France call for Ukraine ceasefire 

The US and France urged both Russia and Ukraine on Tuesday to accept a ceasefire agreement aimed at ending the war, while Russian and Ukrainian officials traded accusations over who is responsible for continued hostilities.

John Kelley, acting US alternate representative, told the UN Security Council that Washington has presented a framework proposal to both sides and said: "We believe (it) could bring about a durable and lasting peace. The path to peace must begin with a comprehensive ceasefire, immediately stopping the destruction and the bloodshed."
