Kremlin’s press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, stated that Russia’s stance on ceasing hostilities at the present line of engagement remains unchanged. He mentioned that this subject was addressed with American counterparts, according to reports from Russian media outlets.
“This subject has been brought up numerous times, with diverse details, during engagements between Russia and the United States. The Russian side has consistently provided a response, and this response is widely known: the firm position of the Russian Federation is unwavering,” he clarified.
The BBC Russian Service highlights that, through this approach, the Russian party continues to demand a complete removal of Ukrainian armed forces from areas annexed by Moscow. President Volodymyr Zelensky asserted that Ukraine will concede nothing to the Russians.
It is worth noting that following a hasty meeting with Zelensky and a dialogue with Putin, Donald Trump proposed that Ukraine and Russia should “halt where they stand” and “proclaim victory.” Zelensky consented to the concept that peace negotiations should commence along the existing front line.
