‘There are questions we need to argue and I think we need to negotiate with our American colleagues and partners, “said Russian President alongside Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko
The President of Russia, expressed his willingness to support a 30-day ceasefire in, although he highlighted the importance of discussing details with the United States. During a press conference on Thursday (13) alongside Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko, he expressed doubts about the effectiveness of the proposed plan and raised questions about responsibility in case of violations. “The idea is good, and we totally support it, but there are questions that we need to argue and I think we need to negotiate with our American colleagues and partners, perhaps a phone call with President Trump, but the very idea of ending this conflict by peaceful means we support it.”
“We agree with the proposals to stop military actions. But we start from the fact that this cessation must be such that it leads to long -term peace and eliminates the initial causes of this crisis, ”he added. Although initially contrary to a pause in hostilities, Putin now considers this possibility, but remains skeptical of its implementation and supervision. He emphasized that, before any agreement, it is essential that there are adequate negotiations between the parties involved.
The Russian President also made a point of pointing out that the discussion of ceasefire terms should include US participation, suggesting that international collaboration is essential for the success of any peace initiative. Its posture reflects a change in strategy, but still carries uncertainties about the viability of the plan. Putin, along with his Belarusian counterpart, questioned the ability to monitor and ensure compliance with ceasefire, which indicates a concern with the possibility of new violations.
