Putin Is Ready to Stop Attacks on Ukraine, but only on Election Day, RIA Reports
Putin said Russian forces could pause strikes for one day if Kyiv holds a vote, while Moscow said a 60-day truce would aid rearmament.
- On Monday, the Kremlin rejected Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's 60-day ceasefire proposal, offering instead to halt military strikes only on the specific day Ukraine holds its presidential election.
- Zelenskyy proposed a '60 days of complete ceasefire' on Sunday, October 11, arguing a two-month pause is necessary to safely organize elections while protecting voters and polling stations.
- Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov dismissed the longer request, claiming Kyiv seeks a ceasefire primarily to rebuild military capabilities rather than prepare for elections, which Moscow doubts Ukraine intends to hold.
- President Donald Trump announced an 'Energy ceasefire' between Russia and Ukraine on Monday, following his October 10 suggestion that Ukraine requires a new leader capable of reaching peace with Russia.
- Moscow maintains that temporary truces are insufficient for regional stability, emphasizing Russian President Vladimir Putin seeks an overall peace deal rather than intermittent pauses in the ongoing conflict.
