Kremlin rejects temporary ceasefire in Ukraine, seeks long-term solution
Yuri Ushakov, aide to the President of Russia, stated that Moscow is interested in a long-term resolution to the war in Ukraine and does not want a temporary ceasefire.
In an interview with Rossiya-1 television, Ushakov said, “We believe that our goal is a long-term peaceful solution; we are trying to achieve this. We want a peaceful solution that takes into account the legitimate interests and known concerns of our country. I think that steps imitating peace actions will not benefit anyone in this situation.”
Ushakov also mentioned that he conveyed Moscow’s position on this issue to US National Security Advisor Michael Waltz.
“Of course, I interpreted the agreements on the temporary ceasefire and stated our position that this is nothing more than a temporary respite for the Ukrainian army,” he added.
