Putin Backs U.S. Ceasefire Proposal ‘In Principle’ but Seeks Key Conditions

President Vladimir Putin stated that Russia supports a U.S. proposal for a ceasefire in Ukraine “in principle,” but emphasized that any truce must address the root causes of the conflict and that crucial details still need to be resolved.

Putin’s remarks signal a possible opening for diplomacy but also highlight Moscow’s conditions, which could complicate negotiations. The Kremlin has consistently demanded security guarantees and recognition of its territorial claims, making the path to peace uncertain.
