The Kremlin announced on Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin is in favour of a ceasefire in Ukraine, but there are still numerous unresolved issues regarding how it would be implemented.
“Putin supports a ceasefire agreement, but many questions remain unanswered," stated Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
US President Donald Trump has spoken to Putin possibly more than twice and has hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in White House to push for a speedy ceasefire between Moscow and Kyiv but has failed to make a breakthrough despite talks with both sides.
“These questions are hanging in the air, so far no one has given an answer to them," he added, blaming the lack of progress on “the Kyiv regime’s uncontrollability".
Trump has meanwhile voiced frustration at the slow pace of talks, telling NBC news in March that he was “pissed off" with Putin.
On Sunday, he told reporters: “We’re talking to Russia. We’d like them to stop. I don’t like the bombing. The bombing goes on and on."
Putin rejected a joint US-Ukrainian proposal for an unconditional and full ceasefire in March, while the Kremlin has made a US-proposed truce in the Black Sea dependent on the West lifting certain sanctions.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Friday that Trump was not “going to fall into the trap of endless negotiations" with Russia over its three-year offensive.
“We will know soon enough, in a matter of weeks, not months, whether Russia is serious about peace or not," he said.
