Russia comments on the issue of a comprehensive ceasefire.
According to TASS on April 24, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Peskov stated that Russian President Putin supports US President Trump's suggestion to implement a comprehensive ceasefire in Ukraine, but all details need to be clarified first, including the issue of European weapons supplies to Kiev should be resolved.
The Russia-Ukraine conflict has lasted for more than three years. Almost all Western countries have been involved in it. It is very difficult to end it in the short term as it involves many interests, and it cannot be solved by just one ceasefire agreement. Especially Britain, France, and the EU are still supplying weapons to Ukraine. They do not want the war to end now. In 2015, as guarantors, France and Germany signed the Minsk Agreement with Russia and Ukraine, but Western countries continued to supply weapons to Ukraine, and Ukraine also violated the ceasefire agreement, eventually leading to a larger-scale outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, proving that such agreements are unreliable. Russia has put forward its own demands, which are reasonable and rational, and have seen through this as possibly a delaying tactic by Western countries.
