Kremlin Rejects Zelensky's 60-Day Ceasefire Proposal

The Kremlin rejected a proposal by Ukraine's president for a 60-day ceasefire aimed at holding presidential elections.

The Kremlin rejected the proposal of the President of Ukraine to establish a 60-day ceasefire with the aim of holding presidential elections.

According to Ambassador Arjan Dimitri Peskov, Kremlin spokesman announced on Monday that Russia wants to reach a lasting peace agreement instead of a temporary ceasefire.

According to Mehr's narration, Peskov told reporters: President Putin and Russian officials at different levels have repeatedly stated that we do not want a ceasefire; We want long-term peace and we are ready to do whatever it takes to achieve it.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asked Putin to agree to a complete ceasefire for 60 days so that Ukraine can hold presidential elections.

Russia has been asking Ukraine to hold elections for a long time and says that not holding elections would question Zelensky's legitimacy. According to Ukrainian law, it is forbidden to hold elections during martial law.
