Russian President Vladimir Putin said today that he is in favor of the 30 -day truce in Ukraine, but sees problems in his application and verification.
“We are in favor, but there are inconveniences,” Putin said at a press conference at the Kremlin with his Belarusian colleague, Alexandr Lukashenko.
“Russia agrees with the proposal for the cessation of military actions, but we start that this should lead to lasting peace and to eliminate the original reasons for the crisis,” Putin said
In addition, Putin also thanked his American counterpart, Donald Trump on Thursday, efforts to end the conflict in Ukraine.
“I would like to start expressing my gratitude to the president of the United States, Mr. Trump, for paying so much attention to the solution of the problem of Ukraine,” Putin said at the beginning of a press conference.
