A senior aide to President Vladimir Putin has rejected any temporary cease-fire with Ukraine just hours before a US delegation was expected to land in Russia for talks with Moscow where they will urge the Kremlin to agree to a 30-day cease-fire proposal or face sanctions.

    The temporary cease-fire only benefits Ukraine. As was seen with the Minsk agreement, NATO was using the time to build up Ukraine’s army. Russians learned their lesson and don’t value any temporary or even permanent cease-fire without a political settlement, considering they are winning on the battlefield.

      No no, you clearly don’t get it. Obviously it’s Russia who needs a ceasefire, they are not advancing as fast as some time before, so it means that Ukraine is winning! And it’s definitely not like Zelensky’s regime needs time to resupply and kidnap more cannon fodder from the streets.

      Russia is winning?? That’s factually wrong, just look at the map! Ukraine has recaptured almost 20km2 in Donbass in the last few weeks! And don’t tell me about the loss of almost 300km2 in Kursk in the same period of time, it’s obviously just a regrouping and moving to better positions.
