Rybar 🔊📝Comment by the Assistant to the President of Russia Yuri Ushakov 📝

🔻Ceasefire with the so-called Ukraine:

Russia has expressed a lack of interest in a temporary cessation of hostilities; rather, it seeks a long-term resolution to the conflict.

Ushakov characterized the notion of a temporary ceasefire as a hasty action that fails to promote long-term peace, particularly in the context of the ongoing Russian military offensive.

Ushakov characterizes the proposal for a 30-day temporary ceasefire in Ukraine as a stratagem and an effort to grant the Ukrainian military a respite.

The final stance on the notion of a temporary ceasefire will be determined by Vladimir Putin.

🔻Russia - USA relations:

There is a "normal exchange of opinions, in a calm manner" between Russia and the USA.

The United States acknowledges that the prospect of Ukraine's accession to NATO is not a viable component of a peaceful resolution.

The United States has identified a mediator to facilitate negotiations with Russia, though Steve Wheatkoff has not been designated as such.

Wheatkoff's visit to Russia was not solely focused on the Ukrainian issue but also encompassed the broader context of bilateral relations between Russia and the USA.
