Kremlin cautious about proposed 30-day Ukraine truce

ISTANBUL

A Kremlin spokesperson said Friday that a detailed discussion on a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine is not possible unless key complexities are addressed.

It followed a proposal supported by US President Donald Trump that was met with conditional approval by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Dmitry Peskov told TASS that Putin “supported the idea” raised by the Trump administration, but noted there are “a huge number of nuances surrounding the idea of a ceasefire, and without finding answers to them, it is very difficult to talk about it in detail.”

The statement came amid growing calls for a temporary truce, with Kyiv expressing a readiness to implement a 30-day halt in fighting if Moscow agrees to a “full and unconditional” ceasefire.

The Kremlin has not specified what conditions or “nuances” it requires to proceed with the proposal.

Putin and Trump have held several discussions in recent weeks focused on de-escalation efforts, and Washington has signaled an openness to further diplomatic engagement.
