The US negotiators are still in question in Moscow on Thursday for ceasefire talks from Ukraine War, but Russia’s willingness to buy in the conditions of a temporary ceasefire developed without input.

Russia is under pressure to report to the 30-day caffeine agreement of the White House, which the United States will show whether the Kremlin has seriously ended with the war against Ukraine.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Wednesday that the ball was before the Russian court after he and the Ukrainian officials had resigned a ceasefire company at the beginning of this week. In the meantime, US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that it would be financially “devastating” for Russia if it does not agree to an armistice, which indicates that the country could be imposed on more sanctions if it does not agree.

But the mood music that came from Moscow on Thursday was not positive. The Russian presidential assistant Yuri Ushakov banned the state media whether Russia will reject Trump’s ceasefire agreement, but found that a ceasefire would give Ukraine the chance to increase its forces.

Ushakov said he handed this position to the US security advisor Mike Waltz during a call on Wednesday.

“This is nothing more than a temporary break for the Ukrainian military, nothing more. We believe that our goal is still a long -term peaceful settlement, we are striving for afterwards. A peaceful settlement that takes into account the legitimate interests of our country – he said, according to an NBC messages.

The comments come after a US delegation of Trump’s special representative Steve Witkoff was cited in Moscow on Thursday, the Kremlin confirmed, while the expectations of the possible result of the meeting were exceeded.

“The negotiators are indeed planned in contacts,” said the press spokesman for Kremlin, Dmitry Peskov, to reporters on Thursday, according to NBC News:

The Kremlin initially provided a subdued reaction to the proposal for the ceasefire and asked for further details.

The deal specified in a joint explanation would stop all military activities and could be expanded through mutual agreement beyond the first 30-day term. The design of the agreement also requires “the exchange of prisoners of war, the release of civil prisoners and the return of the violent Ukrainian children to Russia”.

As part of the plan, the United States immediately picked up its break to exchange secret services with Ukraine and military aid.

Russia has already signaled a number of its red lines for a future peace agreement and has repeatedly determined – even on Thursday – that it will not tolerate the use of foreign troops in Ukraine or the construction of foreign military bases in the country.

Russian President Vladimir Putin still has to comment on the deal and in the last 24 hours of army fatigue, which the Russian region of Kursk, which was partly visited by Ukrainian armed forces, partially visited after an idea last August.

Putin’s rare visit to the front was seen in the war a Kremlin demonstration of the initiative, with the Russia’s armed forces in eastern Ukraine and its Ministry of Defense claiming that the entire Course region would soon be repeated.

Analysts say it will be a struggle for Russia to avoid what Andrius Tursa, Central and Eastern Europe consultant at Teneo, described as a “ceasefire curve ball” from Ukraine and the USA, but they are also skeptical that Moscow will agree or adhere to – a ceasefire. In Moscow there were already some grumbling of dissatisfaction, with a high -ranking Russian official found on Wednesday that a deal on Moscow’s conditions and not to those of Washington would be.

“Ukraine has recalled the initiative by acting as a willing partner of a ceasefire deal and how will Putin play this?” Tim Ash, Senior Emerging Markets Strategist at RBC Bluebay Asset Management, said in the E -Mail comments on Thursday and added that “if he does not agree to an armistice.

Volodymyr Duboyk, academic and analyst at the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA), said on Wednesday that the Ukrainian US meeting could be seen as a “breakthrough”.

“The question is: a breakthrough to what exactly? The main questions remain the same as before the agreement. What will Moscow be reaction?

Sam Greene, a Russia expert at CEPA, found that Russia’s agreement with the proposal would not be in development.

“With immediate Russian consent to an ceasefire, which is unlikely, the frustration of the White House can lead to renewed demands of the Ukrainian concessions. Europe then has to move quickly to reduce Kyiv’s dependence on Washington. With special emphasis on intelligence and air defense, it isolates.”
