As U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff meets with Russian officials regarding a proposed 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine, Russian foreign policy adviser Yuri Ushakov firmly rejects the proposal. Ushakov characterizes the ceasefire as merely temporary and emphasizes Moscow's demand for more substantive peace talks. He insists Ukraine must acknowledge Russia's annexations, withdraw its troops, and pledge against joining NATO. As the situation escalates, the U.S. has restored military aid to Ukraine while Trump warns of financial repercussions for Russia if it continues to resist peace efforts.
"Moscow’s preference for substantive peace talks underscores its rejection of a mere 'breather' for Ukrainian troops, highlighting the urgent need for a comprehensive resolution."
"Ushakov reiterated that for any peace talks to progress, Ukraine must recognize Russia's claims and make significant concessions, including military limitations and political changes."
