Ceasefire Deal: We can’t accept US current
Proposal – Russia…
Russia has expressed strong opposition to the United States’ current ceasefire proposal, stating that it cannot accept the terms outlined in the draft. The Russian government argues that the proposal is unbalanced and does not take into account the complexities of the ongoing conflict. They emphasize that the conditions set forth by the U.S. do not sufficiently address Russia’s security concerns, particularly in regard to NATO’s expansion and the protection of Russian-speaking populations in contested regions.
The U.S. ceasefire proposal, according to Russian officials, places undue pressure on Moscow while failing to provide a framework for long-term peace. Russia believes that the terms proposed favor Ukraine and its allies, without offering meaningful concessions or guarantees that would ensure Russia’s strategic and political interests are respected. Moscow has stressed the importance of negotiating a ceasefire deal that considers both sides’ concerns, and some of the U.S. proposals, such as territorial integrity for Ukraine, are seen as unrealistic and one-sided by Russian leadership.
Moreover, Russia has raised concerns about the role of external actors in the conflict, accusing the U.S. and NATO of exacerbating the situation through military support to Ukraine. According to Moscow, this military aid only prolongs the conflict and hinders any progress toward achieving a peaceful resolution. As a result, Russia insists on a more inclusive negotiation process that involves not only the U.S. and Ukraine but also other regional powers and stakeholders.
In conclusion, while the U.S. proposal is seen as an effort to de-escalate the situation, Russia’s rejection highlights the deep divides that remain in the peace process. The lack of a mutually acceptable framework for negotiations continues to hinder any real progress toward a ceasefire
