Vladimir Putin On Ukraine War: Russian President Vladimir Putin is seen during a press briefing.
Russian President Vladimir Putin thanked US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, along with other state heads, for paying attention to the Ukraine conflict- in first comments on Washington’s plan for a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine.
“First of all, I would like to start with words of gratitude to the president of the United States, Mr Trump, for paying so much attention to the Ukraine settlement. All of us have lots on our plates, but many state leaders, the Chairman of the People’s Republic of China, the Prime Minister of India, president of Brazil and South African Republic. They devote a lot of time to this issue, and we are thankful to them because it’s all for the noble cause of stopping hostilities and preventing human casualties,” he said.
What Vladimir Putin Said On Ceasefire Deal
The comments come as the United States called for Russia to agree to the ceasefire proposal without any conditions. On the proposed ceasefire, Vladimir Putin said that he was “for” the same but “there are nuances” and he had “serious questions” about how it would work.
He said, “We agree with the proposals to cease hostilities but proceed from the assumption that this cessation should lead to long-term peace and eliminate the root causes of this crisis.”
Responding to this, Donald Trump said Vladimir Putin’s statement was “promising” but “not complete”.
“He put out a very promising statement but it wasn’t complete,” the US President said.
How Ukraine’s Zelenskyy Responded To Putin’s Remarks
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called Vladimir Putin “predictable” and “manipulative”, as he accused his Russian counterpart of preparing to reject the idea of a front-line silence.
Vladimir Putin is too afraid to directly tell President Trump that he intends to continue the war and harm Ukrainians, Zelenskyy asserted.
