Kyiv has agreed to a ceasefire proposed by Washington. Now Kremlin chief Putin has commented on it – and yet left a lot open.
Kremlin boss Vladimir Putin has made approval of a ceasefire proposed by the USA in the war against Ukraine in terms of conditions. In the event of an excited press conference, he called for a permanent peaceful solution to the conflict – but did not deploy the maximum demands that have already been expressed. In the evening there was still a meeting of Putin and the US specialist Steve Witkoff in Moscow.
“We agree to hiring the fighting,” said Putin, thanking US President Donald Trump for the initiative to terminate the war. “But we assume that this stop should be so that it leads to long -term peace and eliminates the causes of the conflict.”
Questions about checking this ceasefire would also have to be clarified. It is unclear how the location along the front line that extends “over almost 2,000 kilometers” should be observed. Putin expressed concerns that the fire break would be broken – and both warring parties would blame each other for such incidents. Moscow rejects European peace troops to secure a possible ceasefire.
Putin: Ukraine is not allowed to use ceasefire for reimbursement
Putin also indicated that the Ukraine could take a deep breath, revenue and recruit new soldiers to take a deep breath, then continue to war. This is unacceptable. For its part, Ukraine sees the risk that the Russian troops could use a ceasefire to reorganize.
The Kremlin also emphasized its demands in the Ukrainian area. The location on the ground must be taken into account in the negotiations, Putin and the rulers of Belarus (formerly Belarus’ formerly Belarus (formerly Belarus), who was sitting next to him,, Alexander Lukaschenko, told him. Belarus is the closest allied Russia.
Moscow claims to Ukrainian areas
Moscow leaders from Ukraine that it completely clears the areas that Russia has declared its territory – these are Luhansk, Donetsk, Saporischschja and Cherson. According to Russian ideas, the remaining part of Ukraine is to be largely disarmed. In his propaganda, Russia also speaks of a “denazification” of Ukraine, which means that the insertion of a loyal to the Musca is understood in Kiev.
Ukraine insists that it receives extensive security guarantees for long -term peace. The United States does not want to take on such obligations. But you see the Europeans as a duty. The governments of France and Great Britain are currently driving the discussion about plans for the sending of peacekeepers of European countries.
According to Putin Lage in Kursk, Russia has under control
In the press conference, the Kremlin boss was aware of victory. The situation on the front changes quickly – and it changes in favor of the Russian troops, he said. In the West Russian region of Kursk, the situation is now completely under Moscow’s control, Putin said after a visit the day before. Ukrainian troops had conquered land in the summer in a surprising counterattack and thus brought the war back to the ground of the attacker for the first time.
However, Kiev’s troops stationed there have come into trouble. The Russian military has just recaptured the small town of Sudscha, Putin said and referred to reports of Russian generals. The small town of Sudscha was the largest place the Ukrainians took last year.
According to Putin, the remaining Ukrainian units are cut off from replenishment and would hardly have a chance to withdraw. He opposed the idea of granting these soldiers free with a ceasefire to the Ukraine.
Proposal for comprehensive ceasefire comes from the USA
The plan of a 30-day break in the country, in the air and at sea in the Ukraine War comes from the government of US President Trump. It is the first proposal in more than three years of the Russian war of aggression against the neighboring country. During talks in Saudi Arabia, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and security advisor Mike Waltz convinced Ukraine from the proposal. The ceasefire should apply if Moscow adheres to it.
Kyiv had actually followed the European idea to initially stop mutual air raids and attacks from sea. This would be easier to check. In return for the Ukrainian approval of the US plan, Washington resumed the interrupted arms deliveries. Ukraine is also provided with data from US education.
Talks between the USA and Russia in Moscow
The United States negotiators on Thursday were on the way to Moscow, as Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskow announced. According to him, Putin’s foreign policy advisor Juri Uschakow and security advisor Waltz spoke about the war on the day before. Peskow did not give details. He announced an “international phone call” of Putin to reveal without details. Another conversation with Trump is expected.
So far, Russia has always rejected a temporary ceasefire in Ukraine and pressed it to solve the conflict holistically. Moscow sees the East Extension of NATO and the possibility that Ukraine could also be included in the western alliance.
