Putin Agrees in Principle with Trump’s Proposal for a 30-Day Ceasefire in Ukraine

(3 Minutes Read)

Putin thanked U.S. President Donald Trump “for paying so much attention to the settlement in Ukraine.” He also thanked the leaders of China, India, Brazil, and South Africa for their noble mission to end the fighting to casualties.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said that he agrees in principle with a U.S. proposal for a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine, but the terms need to be worked out.  He emphasised that it should pave the way to lasting peace.

He noted the need to develop a mechanism to control possible breaches of the truce. Another issue, he said, is whether Ukraine could use the 30-day ceasefire to continue mobilisation and rearmament.

Putin noted that while it appeared that the U.S. persuaded Ukraine to accept a ceasefire, Ukraine is interested in that because of the battlefield situation, noting that Ukrainian troops that launched an incursion into Russia’s Kursk region would be fully blocked in the coming days.
