US Hopes Russia to Present This Week Terms for Ukraine Ceasefire
"So what we're expecting now, based on President’s [Donald Trump] phone conversation yesterday [with Russian President Vladimir Putin] and my conversation over the weekend with Mr. Lavrov, is that at some point where fairly soon, maybe in a number of days, maybe this week, hopefully, the Russian side is going to present terms that they would want to see, just broad terms that would allow us to move toward the ceasefire," US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said during a Senate hearing.
Russian and US Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump held a telephone conversation on Monday, which included a settlement of the conflict in Ukraine.
Russia has repeatedly emphasized its readiness for a truce and negotiations without preconditions. However, as Putin noted, the truce should not be used for rearmament and a military respite for Ukraine, and the peace process should respond to the root causes of the conflict.
Russia is in favor of stopping hostilities, but it is necessary to develop the most effective paths towards peace, said Putin on Monday.
