Vladimir Putin said he agrees “with the proposals for suspending weapons” in Ukraine when both countries are approaching a break in the fight. Speaking at a press conference with the Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, the Russian leader said that he had many questions about how the arms suspension would look and act, emphasizing that he had to talk to US President Donald Donald Trump before any contract could be reached.
At the beginning of this week, Ukraine said that it is ready to agree to a 30-day suspension of weapons with Western leaders, saying that the ball was now at the court of Russia. Initially, it seemed unlikely that Russia would agree to all the cessation of the fight, and Putin’s advisor, Yuri Ushakov, claims that the contract was “hurried” and will bring benefits mainly to Ukraine. He told journalists: “I discovered our position that that is nothing but a brief respite for the Ukrainian army, nothing more.
“It seems to me that nobody needs any steps that imitate peaceful actions in this situation.”
But Putin’s comments breathe a brand new life in a possible peace agreement, an area where the recent US administration has spent significant energy on security.
However, before the fight there continues to be a way, and Putin insisted that “many questions about the suspension of weapons” when he thanked Donald Trump for his efforts in the media.
He added: “We agree with the proposals for suspending weapons, but our position is based on the assumption that the suspension of the weapon will lead to a long -term room, which removed the initial reasons for the crisis.”
His comments appear at a time when Russia was able to increase its offensive, especially on the Russian territory of Kursk, where Zelensky’s forces were difficult by removing the US intelligence.
Last week, the United States announced that it stops military assistance and sharing an interview with the Ukrainians, seriously limiting their ability to stop Russian attacks on earth and air.
On Tuesday, after Ukraine’s agreement, US weapons announced that they’d resume sharing an interview with Kijiv, although Ukraine lost significant swaths of territory last week consequently of removal.
Such was Russian success in Kursk that Putin was able to visit the front line wearing military fatigue yesterday.
After the visit, the former KGB spy said that Russia is offensive in every area, adding that “rapidly changing” development on the front “would affect any negotiations.
