There will be no temporary ceasefire.
Russia is not interested in the proposal.
“It’s nothing more than a temporary breathing break for the Ukrainian troops,” says Putin’s adviser Jurij Usjakov.
Russia does not agree on a 30 -day temporary ceasefire, reports Financial Times. Putin’s foreign policy adviser Jurij Usjakov comes with the message.
“It’s nothing more than a temporary breathing break for the Ukrainian troops,” he says.
The newspaper writes that Russia, on the other hand, wants a long -term peace plan.
– We expect the United States to take into account Russia’s position in the continued cooperation, says Jurij Usjakov.
Zelenskyj approved
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj approved the proposal for a ceasefire for 30 days on Wednesday – but he has a clear limit.
– We will not give up territories occupied by Russia. It’s the most important red line, he says.
US envoy Steve Witkoff has landed in Moscow to discuss a possible ceasefire and peace solution. To Reuters, two sources state that Russia should have presented a list to the United States on what is required for them to end the attack war.

It is not clear exactly what is included in the requirements list, but should, among other things, be that Ukraine should not be allowed to join NATO, that parts of the Russian -checked areas in Ukraine should be granted Russia and that foreign troops should not be placed in Ukraine.
Russian UD-speaking woman Maria Zacharova has previously stated about the scenario that other countries should send soldiers to Ukraine as peacekeeping forces and that it would mean a “direct armed conflict” with Russia.
– It would be totally unacceptable for us that army units from other countries, regardless of flag, would be placed in Ukraine, she says according to the AFP news agency.
