Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has cast doubt on Russia’s willingness to agree an initial 30-day ceasefire in the war in UKraine, laying down a string of conditions that will be hard to meet.
Mr Putin said he agreed with the idea of a ceasefire in Ukraine but had "many questions” about the proposed US-brokered ceasefire. The Russian leader suggested that Ukraine should neither rearm nor mobilise and that western military aid to Kyiv be halted during the 30-day ceasefire.
Ukraine has already agreed to the proposal for a 30-day ceasefire in talks with the United States. President Volodymyr Zelensky described Putin’s response to the plan as "manipulative”. US President Donald Trump said it would be “very disappointing” if Russia refused to agree to the ceasefire. The US has placed further sanctions on Russian oil, gas and banking sectors.
