Kremlin Denies Report Putin Offered a Ceasefire in Ukraine
MOSCOW (Reuters) – The Kremlin on Wednesday denied a report that Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed a ceasefire in Ukraine to the United States via intermediaries.
Asked if the Reuters report that Russia had made peace proposals was true, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, “No. It is not true.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin sent signals to Washington in 2023 in public and privately through intermediaries, including through Moscow’s Arab partners in the Middle East, that he was ready to consider a ceasefire in Ukraine, Russian sources told Reuters.
