Putin's advisor refuses a ceasefire. Ukraine would just give a chance to relax, says

Ukraine agreed with the monthly calm of weapons after Tuesday's negotiations in the Saudi Jida. Now it is waiting for the Kremlin reaction.

“The thirty -day temporary ceasefire. What does it give us? It doesn't give us anything. Only this allows the Ukrainians to regroup, gain strength and continue the fight, ”said Ušakov. He described the American proposal as a hasty step.

« It will be necessary to work and take into account our position, » Ušakov said. According to him, the plan reflects only the Ukrainian attitude and will not benefit a long -term solution. Such a solution must take into account Russian interests and concerns, he said the advisor who has been working for Putin in the Kremlin since 2012.

Asked if Moscow rejects the US proposal, Ušakov said that President Vladimir Putin would probably talk to the media later on Thursday and comment on the Russian opinion in more detail. According to Kommerstant, Putin will meet with the leader of American negotiators Steve Witkoff.

Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov also did not rule out Thursday that the Russian President could have an international telephone conversation during today. He did not state with whom, but in this context, Reuters wrote that US President Donald Trump was waiting for Putin's response to a design of a ceasefire in conflict in Ukraine. Russia unleashed in February 2022.

“We are ready to discuss this initiative during future interviews with the US Party. I can say that such contacts are already possible today, ”said Russian diplomacy spokeswoman Marija Zacharovová.

On Wednesday, Ušakov spoke to the White House advisor for national security Mike Waltz. « I have made it clear that the proposed ceasefire is nothing but a temporary opportunity to relax for the Ukrainian army, » said Rossija-1 on TV on Thursday.
