Russia Rejects the United States’ Proposal for a Temporary Ceasefire with Ukraine

Russia has rejected the temporary ceasefire proposal the United States brokered with Ukraine.

Russian foreign policy adviser Yuri Ushakov said he told U.S. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz that the deal was “nothing other than a temporary breather for Ukrainian troops.”

“Our goal is a long term peaceful resolution,” Ushakov told reporters.
