Putin's timing in raising the prospect of a ceasefire appears as precise as the scheduling of polling stations.

Putin Reveals: Kyiv Suddenly Revives Call for Ceasefire—What’s the Motive?

Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a press interaction that Ukrainian officials have again actively raised the issue of ceasefire across multiple fronts.

"They are once again actively raising the issue of ceasefire on several fronts," the Russian leader emphasized.

Previously, Putin had stated that Russia would decide whether to continue peace negotiations with Ukraine based on its own national interests.

He underscored that Ukraine had earlier proposed continuing peace talks after the Russian State Duma elections, but then launched attacks on Russian polling stations on the final day of voting—September 20.
