Volodymyr Zelensky criticises Putin's ceasefire response | BBC News

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said he agrees with the idea of a ceasefire in Ukraine, but that "questions" remain about the nature of a truce - as he set out a number of tough conditions for peace.

He was responding to a plan for a 30-day ceasefire, which Ukraine agreed to earlier this week following talks with the US.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described Putin's response to the plan as "manipulative" and called for more sanctions on Russia.

Meanwhile, the US placed further sanctions on Russian oil, gas and banking sectors.

It's not a "Ceasefire" if one side gets to dictate all the rules.
It's called "Terms of Surrender"

Real peace is built on action and trust, not just words and conditions

[Ryanjoned]

Most exercise I get these days is shaking my head in disbelief

[Mwu-bm]

A true ceasefire requires genuine commitment, not just words

[stststefan]

Who cares, nobody expected them to agree anyway. The whole show of US "negotiating" a ceasefire with it's proxy is laughable.

Imagine in 1945 Hitler will ask Stalin for 30 days ceasefire to rearm and regroup.

[AlonsoLayena]

Why not Zelensky get ready to engaged in a real and permanent ceasefire instead of that tricky 30 days ceasefire?

[RP-sbgl]

Did Trump really expect Putin to agree?

[strawhat]

CNN and BBC are against the ceasefire 😅

[Kingoftheking]

A ceasefire dictated by one side feels more like a tactic than a solution

[fenris]

Demands from the losing side are considered "ceasefire proposals"? Aren't supposed to be two sides in any negotiation? 🤣🤣🤣

[wickmanmanzie]

Someone please get rid of this guy immediately

[archiearevalo]

Russia is advancing from kurks and parts of ukraine and ukraine are retreating. Why would russia agree on ceasefire??

[afsheen]

why call it negotiating and then get mad at the Russians for having conditions?

[luciusdomitiusaurelianus]

Why would a winning side want to compromise and give CONCESSION? On what planet do these experts live? LOL

[Shining]

BBC won't show the forced conscription videos of Ukraine throwing men into vans. Absolutely heartbreaking 💔

[Tpstoep]

😂😂😂Zelenksy sounds like he is not ready for peace

[speakup]

Putin will be stupid to accept such ceasefire.. for Ukraine 🇺🇦 to Rearm

[someday]

Zelensky wants to take a break. The shamelessness of asking for time to reorganize. Where is that in war??

[tshidiso]

It's a well and logical response from Putin. Zelensky is bitter because he was hoping Putin would reject the deal🙄
