Moscow's first response to the 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine . A cold response, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov urged "not to rush" on the hypothesis of an acceptance of the truce proposed by the United States and accepted yesterday by Kiev.
Peskov stressed that "first of all" Moscow expects to receive detailed information from the US about yesterday's talks in Jeddah with the Ukrainian delegation. "In recent days we have also planned contacts with the Americans, during which we expect to receive complete information."
Russian sources told Reuters that Moscow is cautious and skeptical about the proposal. Any deal to end the war in Ukraine, they said, would have to take into account Russia's progress on the ground and address Moscow's concerns about its own security.
" Vladimir Putin has a strong position because Russia is moving forward and he would have difficulty accepting the idea of a ceasefire without discussing the terms and obtaining some kind of guarantees ," the Russian source told Reuters.
Meanwhile, in the aftermath of the thaw talks between Washington and Kiev, deliveries of US military aid to Ukraine have returned to normal , to the levels prior to the halt decided by Donald Trump after the clash in the Oval Office.
