Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov has stated that a proposed 30-day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine would not offer any significant benefits to Russia. This comment came after discussions surrounding the potential for a temporary pause in hostilities as part of ongoing diplomatic efforts to ease tensions.
