President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that Russia backed the US proposal for a Ukraine ceasefire, but had “serious questions” that he needed to discuss with the United States, possibly directly with President Donald Trump.
Putin said he was “for” the proposal of a 30-day ceasefire “but that there are nuances” and that he had “serious questions” about how it would work. “I think we need to talk to our American colleagues… Maybe have a phone call with President Trump and discuss this with him,” he told reporters.
