Russia’s war of aggression
Kremlin rejects Kiev’s proposal for 30-day ceasefire
Russia has been in Ukraine for three years. The Kremlin is ready to dialogue. However, he rejects offers to silence the weapons for a longer period of time.
The Kremlin has rejected the extension of the ceasefire proposed by Kyiv to 30 days. Russia saw the offer of the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj, but a few questions would have to be resolved, said Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskow. “Without answers to these questions, it is difficult to respond to long -term ceasefire.” That is also the position of President Vladimir Putin.
Putin already mentioned conditions for this in March, when US President Donald Trump had proposed the 30-day ceasefire. Ukraine should not use the period for reorganizing its armed forces and for refueling. The western arms deliveries to Kyiv would have to be stopped in time. Putin did not talk about similar restrictions for the Russian military.
“Humanitarian” ceasefire for smooth victory parade
The 72-year-old ordered a three-day ceasefire “out of humanitarian considerations” for the days around World War II from May 8th to 11th. During the period, the victory parade on the Red Square, which is operated by Moscow, falls, including numerous foreign state guests, including China’s state and party leader XI Jinping.
Peskow described the decree as “gesture of good will”, in Kiev, on the other hand, the three -day break was seen as an attempted fraud to simulate willingness to dialogue. The Ukraine countered the proposal for it with the demand for a long -term ceasefire. That is not an answer to the Russian proposal, Peskow said. It is still unclear whether Kyiv was ready to go into it.
