Russia is opposed to temporary ceasefire with Ukraine, says Putin’s advisor

Kremlin advisor Yuri Ushakov opposed the temporary ceasefire proposed by the United States, accepted by Ukraine President Volodimir Zelenski, in an interview for a Russian television channel on Thursday.

“This proposed ceasefire is nothing more than a temporary truce for the Ukrainian military. Our goal is a long -term peace agreement, ”he said.
According to the representative, the Russians want a peace agreement that takes into consideration “the legitimate interests and concerns” of Russia, which, he said, are known. “No one needs steps that imitate a peaceful path,” said Ushakov.
