Russia said it remains unclear whether Ukraine will observe a temporary ceasefire declared for Victory Day, as Kyiv calls for a longer, unconditional truce.
The Kremlin stated on Tuesday that it remains uncertain whether Ukraine will participate in a temporary ceasefire announced by President Vladimir Putin to coincide with the 80th anniversary of Victory Day. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the initiative, set to run from midnight on May 7-8 to May 10-11, was “a gesture of goodwill” but noted there had been no response from Kyiv so far.
Peskov also commented on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s call for a 30-day ceasefire, saying such a move would require addressing the conditions previously outlined by Putin. He reiterated that Russia is open to talks, though he mentioned legal concerns about Zelenskyy’s mandate, calling for direct negotiations to begin as a first step toward peace.
Zelenskyy had earlier rejected the Russian proposal, calling it a manipulation aimed at securing quiet for Moscow’s commemorations of the Soviet victory in World War II. He said any ceasefire should start immediately, last at least 30 days, and be comprehensive and unconditional.
