Russian officials express reservations over the U.S. proposal for a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine, highlighting the need for guarantees and the ongoing military situation.
President Vladimir Putin is unlikely to accept a U.S. proposal for a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine, with Russian sources stating any agreement would need to consider Russia's military advances and address its concerns.
Since Russia’s 2022 invasion, the conflict has caused significant casualties, displacement, and increased tensions between Moscow and the West. U.S. President Donald Trump has shifted policy, opening talks with Moscow and suspending military aid to Ukraine, which has agreed to support the ceasefire proposal.
A senior Russian official stated that Russia would require guarantees before agreeing to a ceasefire. With Russia advancing on the battlefield, they are concerned that without such guarantees, Moscow’s position could weaken.
Putin has consistently rejected short-term ceasefires, emphasising the need for a long-term peace secured by guarantees for Russia. His conditions for peace include Ukraine renouncing NATO ambitions and withdrawing from regions claimed by Russia.
Russian officials and state media have dismissed the ceasefire proposal, framing it as potentially advantageous to Ukraine and emphasising that any peace agreement would be based on Russia’s terms.
