Vladimir Putin at a conference with Alexander Lukashenko questioned the point of introducing a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine. “ Russia is in favour of a truce, but there are any nuances, including the course circuit,” said the Russian president. In his assessment, freezing the conflict at the minute would be beneficial for the Kiev authorities. He did not regulation out that he would talk about the details of the proposal by telephone to the president of the United States Donald Trump.
How Zelenski reacted
Volodymyr Zelenski commented on Vladimir Putin's words in his evening speech. “Now all of us from Russia have heard Putin’s very predictable, very manipulative words in consequence to the thought of silence on the front — in fact he is now preparing a refusal. Putin, of course, is afraid to tell president Trump directly, He wants to proceed this war, he wants to kill Ukrainians. Therefore, in Moscow they formulate the thought of silence with specified preliminaries that nothing will happen or that it will not happen as long as possible. Putin frequently does this — he does not say “no”, but he does it in specified a way that he virtually only delays everything and prevents average solutions. We believe that this is another Russian manipulation," stated the president of Ukraine.
"There was an American offer of unconditional silence in the sky, at sea and at the front. We in Ukraine accepted this proposal. We have heard from the American side that they are ready to organize control and verification. This is thanks to American and European capabilities," he added.
“We do not set conditions that complicate anything. Russia does it. As we've always said, the only 1 who's going to drag things along, the only 1 who's going to be non-constructive, is Russia. They request war. Putin stole years of peace and continues this war — day by day. Now we gotta put force on him. We must impose sanctions that will help, he pointed out.
