Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov has dismissed the idea of a temporary 30-day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, stating that it would offer no significant gains for Russia, amid ongoing diplomatic efforts for peace.
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. Ushakov emphasized that Russia's position remains firm, and such a ceasefire would not contribute meaningfully to achieving Russia's objectives in the ongoing conflict.
The proposal for a 30-day ceasefire follows diplomatic talks with U.S. officials and is part of broader international discussions regarding peace efforts in Ukraine. While various world leaders, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, have shown interest in exploring ceasefire terms, Russia’s stance underscores the complexities involved in negotiating a peaceful resolution.
Ushakov’s remarks highlight the deep divide between Russia and Ukraine, signaling that despite external pressure for a halt to the fighting, Russia sees no immediate advantage in agreeing to a ceasefire under the current terms. The situation remains fluid as diplomatic efforts continue to unfold.
