Russia demands details from US before it commits to Ukraine ceasefire

Marco Rubio confirms US will talk to Moscow on Wednesday about results of US-Ukraine talks

The Kremlin has declined to commit to an immediate 30-day ceasefire in the war with Ukraine, stating that Vladimir Putin must first be briefed by the US before deciding whether the proposal would be acceptable to Russia.

The Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, said Moscow was awaiting “detailed information” from Washington after talks between senior US and Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia, where Kyiv declared its readiness to implement an immediate ceasefire.
