How can Putin reply to the US-Ukraine ceasefire plan?

After 21:00 on Tuesday night in Moscow when US State Secretary Marco Rubio underlined Ukrainian and American proposal for 30-day ceasefire with Russia,

By Wednesday afternoon, Kremlin still appeared to weigh his response to the proposals.

Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Maria Zakharova refused to join the specialties, saying “the status of the Russian Federation (Will) would be formed inside the Russian Federation”.

And Kremlin spokesman Dimitri Peskov skirts the issue. “Let’s do not move on with yourself,” he said, adding Moscow “familiarizing himself” with a joint statement issued in Jeddah.

There are reports that American messenger Steve Witcoff may travel to Moscow on Thursday, and Peskov said the press would be informed. In addition, it was no comment from Kremlin.

President Vladimir Putin has no doubt carefully to accept the ceasefire proposal, reject it, or demand amendment.

The idea of ​​rejecting – or amendment – the ceasefire proposal is receiving the most traction among the comments.

“If (Putin) accepts the American suggestion, it will cause a dangerous situation,” Pro-Crelyn Pandit and former Putin colleague Sergei Markov told the BBC, arguing that the Russian army currently has an upper hand on the front line and may lose it.

There are also concerns that Ukraine can use a month -long ceasefire, so Russia may carry out certain conditions, such as demanding to eliminate the western supply of weapons to the Kiev.

“During this period, during this period, Ukraine must be introduced an ambargo on arms supply … Europe should support a ceasefire in Europe, not with words, but with actions,” Mr. Markov told Russian media.

If he accepts the proposal, Mr. Markov suggests that public opinion may be a factor. The Russian society is “tired of war”, he told the BBC.

While this is true Some recent survey Show the increasing percentage of the Russian population is in favor of holding peace talks with Ukraine, it is clear that Putin’s decision will be dominated by the public opinion.

Russia will have to accept another potential Avenue ceasefire and then blame any violation on Ukrainian “provocative” in the hope of defaming Kiev in Trump’s eyes.

After seizing Crimea in 2014, several attempts were made to implement a ceasefire between Moscow and Kiev. They all failed.

If this effort works, it will be unprecedented.

Away from Kremlin’s silence, declaration of ceasefire proposal – Ukraine was openly discussed in Russian media since the onset of Moscow’s war.

In some cases, Ukraine as folding for American demands, was jubbed on what he had seen, Komsomolskaya Pravada had trouted the “completely” Kiev “completely” while arguing with the White House.

Daily said, “He heard exactly the words he wanted to hear from Ukraine.”

Nevertheless, the huge feeling between many Russian commentators and MPs is one of the suspicions, especially in the light of the American decision to re -start Kiev Intelligence and arms.

MP Victor Sobolev said that a temporary ceasefire would only play in the hands of Ukrainian as it would allow them to “re -organize in 30 days, fill their rank again and fill with drones”.

A push has also been given to highlight the victory of the Russian army in the Kursk region, some of which have captured Kiev from the previous summer – and to show that Russia has an upper hand in the battlefield.

On Wednesday morning, the images of Russian soldiers re -receive Sudaz – the largest city managed to seize in the Ukraine Kursk region – Russian TV and popular telegram channels were omnipresent, as well as praise for Moscow soldiers “daring” work.

Daily Moscowsky Comsomolats said, “The real situation for conversation is now being created by our brave people – all with the front line.”

Despite the nonsense, the final decision – as always in today’s Russia – will rest with Vladimir Putin.

He, like Trump, is central for this deal. “We … do not deny the need for a telephone conversation at the highest level,” said Peskov on Wednesday morning – which means that there is a direct contact card between the two presidents.

Some Russian may believe that it is also Trump’s favorite Avenue.

“With his own entry, he only makes a deal with ‘boss’,” said the state broadcaster Riya Novosti.

“This means that there will be no deal with ‘teams’, ‘representatives’ and ‘messengers’. A possible deal can only be between Putin and Trump.”
