Putin expresses readiness to agree with a ceasefire with conditions / day

« We agree to the proposals to end the war, but this proposal must be that led to long -term peace and eliminating the basics of war, » said Putin at a joint press conference with Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko.

Putin said Russia in principle supports a 30 -day ceasefire, but there are nuances. One of these nuances is the situation of the Ukrainian army in the Kursk region, which he described as a siege. He stressed that there are many other nuances related to the termination of warfare and its control, and that they should be discussed in detail with the US.

Putin also expressed his gratitude to US President Donald Trump, stating that Trump is not the only leader in the world that focuses on the conflict in Ukraine and listed the leaders of the BRICS organization of development countries.

Meanwhile, Putin's assistant Yuri Ushakov told the Kremlin loyal newspaper « Izvestia » that Putin would meet with the US special envoy Steve Vitkof in a closed format tonight.

Trump announced that Putin had made a very promising statement about a possible ceasefire in Ukraine, but added that it was not complete.

Trump said « I would love to meet or talk to him with him. But we need to finish it quickly. »

« Many details of the final agreement have actually been discussed. Now we will see if Russia will agree, and, if not, it will be a very disappointing moment for the world, » Trump said.

As reported on Tuesday, Ukrainian and US representatives were held in Jids, Saudi Arabia.

During the negotiations, Ukraine agreed with the US proposal for a 30 -day ceasefire, but provided Russia accepts and at the same time fulfills this requirement.
