Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday that Ukraine's ceasefire proposal, which would include a moratorium on strikes against civilian targets, must be clarified and discussed before Russia can give a response. "If we talk about civilian infrastructure facilities, we need to clearly differentiate in what situations these facilities can be a military target and in what situations they cannot," he told reporters.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said yesterday that he will analyze Kiev's plan while also accusing it of using civilian infrastructure for military purposes. Peskov repeated that Putin is willing to negotiate with Ukraine but that Kiev must "legally clear obstacles" to direct talks after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed an order in 2022 prohibiting negotiations with Putin's regime.
