According to reports, Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to a 30-day ceasefire proposal on Thursday. However, it came with stipulations. His terms and conditions have yet to be announced, but I am sure they will be hefty.
“So the idea itself is correct, and we certainly support it,” Putin said during a news conference in Moscow. “But there are issues that we need to discuss, and I think that we need to discuss it with our American colleagues and partners.”
He explained that they need to develop some sort of mechanism to control any possible breaches of this truce.
“We agree with the proposals to halt the fighting, but we proceed from the assumption that the ceasefire should lead to lasting peace and remove the root causes of the crisis,” Putin added.
Breitbart reports:
A delegation of United States diplomats had earlier arrived in Moscow for talks on agreeing a ceasefire, with a possible call between President Donald Trump and Putin to follow, as Breitbart News reported.
AP further reports Putin noted while it appeared that the U.S. persuaded Ukraine to accept a ceasefire, Kyiv is interested in that because of the battlefield situation, pointing out Ukrainian troops that launched an incursion into Russia’s Kursk region would be fully blocked in the coming days.
