Vladimir Putin, during a conference with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, expressed support for a ceasefire in Ukraine, asserting that any truce must address the fundamental issues driving the conflict. He highlighted the necessity for negotiations to ensure a cessation of hostilities leads to lasting peace. Putin's comments follow the ongoing military operations in the Kursk region, underscoring the complexity of the situation as multiple factors must be resolved to achieve a stable resolution to the war.
Putin stated, 'We agree with the proposals to cease hostilities. But we proceed from the fact that this cessation should be such that it would lead to long-term peace and would eliminate the root causes of the crisis.'
Despite his support for a ceasefire, Putin emphasized that there are still many unresolved issues that must be discussed before any agreement can be reached.
