Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed to the U.S. proposal for a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine. However, he emphasized the need to address the root causes of the conflict to achieve long-term peace. Putin expressed gratitude to President Donald Trump for his efforts to resolve the Ukraine crisis and also extended his thanks to other global leaders, including those from India and China.

During a news conference in Moscow on Thursday, Putin stated that Russia supports the ceasefire but believes there are many issues that need to be discussed.

Putin highlighted the importance of creating a mechanism to monitor potential ceasefire violations, expressing concerns that Ukraine might use the pause to mobilize and stockpile weapons. He also made it clear that Russia would not accept peacekeepers from any NATO country to oversee the ceasefire.

The Russian President concluded by stressing that steps must be taken to address the underlying causes of the conflict and work toward a lasting peace.
