“We agree to stop hostilities. The very idea itself is correct. But there are questions "

Putin’s answer to the proposal of temporary truce. As short as possible

I want to thank Donald Trump for paying so much attention to settlement. We agree with the proposal to stop hostilities, but this should lead to the long -term world and eliminate the root causes of the crisis. In Jidd, the US was offered a truce, and Ukraine itself should have wanted this, based on the situation on Earth. We are for the ceasefire, but there are nuances. What will we do with those who remained under the control of the Armed Forces in the Kursk region? How will issues on the contact line be resolved, where Russian troops are coming? How does Ukraine use these 30 days? Will it continue to mobilize and stock up? And if not, who will control that there will be nothing of this? Who will determine if the ceasefire is violated? Here you need a painstaking study. The idea itself is to end fire is correct. We certainly support it, but there are questions that need to be discussed.

This is an approximate retelling of Vladimir Putin's statements made after a meeting with Alexander Lukashenko in Moscow on the eve of a meeting with the special Steve Whitkoff specialist.
