March 14 (Upi) – President Vladimir Putin from Russia said that he essentially agreed to a 30-day ceasefire in the United States in his war in Ukraine, while he described concerns about what he described as “nuances” when he described concessions from Kyiv.

In a joint press conference on Thursday in Moscow together with the general President Alexander Lukashenko from Belarus, Putin projected the confidence when the United States under President Donald Trump ensured a quick standstill for the three -year war.

This comes when Russia apparently made profits on site. It occupies 20% of the Ukrainian territory, including the Crimea that illegally annexed it in 2014. With the help of thousands of North Korean troops, the Kremlin has also successfully fended off a Ukrainian idea into the Russia's Kursk region in Russia.

He informed the reporters on Thursday that they “agree to the proposal for the end of the hostility, but we proceed from the fact that this termination should be one that leads to long -term peace and eliminates the original causes of this crisis”.

“We are for it, but there are nuances,” said Putin.

Russia began the war on February 24, 2022 with its complete invasion under the wrong pretext of denazification and the delivery of Ukraine. Putin has repeatedly and incorrectly tried to formulate Ukraine as an instigator, and often said that long -term peace has to tackle what he sees as the origins of the conflict.

The political research organization for the investigation of the war described Putin's comments as the “offer of an alternative ceasefire agreement, which the intentions and Ukraine agreed on the intentions and goals of the proposal on Tuesday” are offered in contrast to the intentions and goals “.

According to reports, the US Ukraine Agreement reports a 30-day renewable termination to combat operations on frontlines, air and sea to determine the table for peace talks.

Steve Witkoff, Trump's special representative for the Middle East, should meet Putin to discuss the ceasefire on Thursday evening, according to the Russian state news.

The warrior study explained that the conditions for a ceasefire in Putin in the press conference “Russia grant disproportionate advantages and the conditions for the Kremlin, which would be determined for Russia, for the renewal of hostility and determined the conditions.”

During the press conference, Putin said that Ukraine would use the 30-day ceasefire to strengthen its military, which indicates that an agreement should prohibit Kyiv to impose its armed, train troops and to maintain weapons of allies such as the United States and Europe.

However, the institute of the war study did not say that Russia would capture the same conditions.

“The Russian armed forces are currently on the offensive in the whole theater, as Putin found. Therefore, the requirements that the Ukrainian armed forces would prevent from reconstructing the reconstruction of Russia to resume the offensive can be maintained at a later time,” it said. “Such demands seem to be a clear indication that Putin is actually not obliged to make peace.”

President Volodymyr Zelensky from Ukraine described Putin's statements as “very predictable and manipulative”, which shows that the Russian leader prepares for rejection of the US Ukraine agreement.

“Of course, Putin is afraid of telling President Trump directly that he continues to continue this war and continues to kill the Ukrainians. Therefore, in Moscow, she surrounds the ceasefire idea with such requirements that it fails or is dragged as long as possible,” said the Ukrainian leader in a statement.

“We do not set any conditions that make the process more difficult – Russia. As we always said, the only one who comes to a standstill is the only one who is not constructive.

In his press conference, Putin added that he could call Trump to discuss his problems with the American president.

When asked that he asked on Thursday whether he was planning to talk to Putin about the ceasefire, Trump replied: “Yes, I would like to meet or talk to him, but we have to survive it quickly.”
