Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday said that his nation is ‘in favour’ of a 30-day ceasefire in the Ukraine war, but ‘there are nuances’ and said that the US should hold ceasefire discussions with Russia and wanted American counterpart Donald Trump to play a role.
He also said that the ceasefire should lead to long-term solutions while highlighting that the Kursk offensive, to seize regions of Kursk from Ukrainian control, would determine ‘next steps’ on ceasefire.
He added that any Ukraine ceasefire must lead to a long-term settlement of the conflict and address its root causes.
“We agree with proposals to cease hostilities, but on the basis that that cessation would lead to long-term peace and addresses the root causes of the crisis,” Putin told a press conference in Moscow, responding to a joint US-Ukrainian plan for a 30-day truce.
