Kreml rejects Ukraina's ceasefire proposal: Putin plans fire break!

Vienna, Österreich - On April 29, 2025, the Kremlin rejected the Ukraine proposal to extend a ceasefire to 30 days. According to the Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskow, important questions still have to be clarified before such an agreement can be approved. Instead of a long -term peace offer, President Vladimir Putin announced a three -day break of fire, which should apply from May 8th to 11th. This period of time coincides with the victory parade on the Red Square, to which foreign state guests are expected.

Peskow described this fire break as "gesture of good will". However, the conditions for long -term ceasefire, which Putin already called in March, see significant restrictions: Ukraine must not use the period to reverse or re -growing, and western arms deliveries are to be stopped. No similar restrictions were given through the Russian military. The Ukrainian President Selenskyj regarded the proposal as a fraud attempt to simulate a willingness to dialogue and instead demands a more comprehensive ceasefire.

global reactions to the conflict

The rejection of the Ukrainian proposal was pursued internationally. US President Donald Trump said critically and emphasized that the announced fire break was not sufficient. He demanded a permanent ceasefire and was frustrated by the attitude of both Putin and Selenskyjs. Trump has considerable doubts about Putin's willingness to bring about a real peace closure in Ukraine.

Ukraine had previously surprisingly agreed a joint proposal with the USA for a ceasefire. This preliminary 30-day break was announced after talks in Saudi Arabia. However, details about the implementation of the fire break remain unclear; It is not specified whether the fire break should apply to the entire front or only to certain areas. Selenskyj had explained that rocket, drone and bomb attacks should be set during this time.

future prospects and political environment

Ukraine also rejected a previous proposal, supported by Macron and Strander, for a limited ceasefire. Depending on the approval of Russia, the fire break could be extended after 30 days in mutual agreement. However, security policy guarantees for Ukraine were not addressed in the communication for the ceasefire, which indicates that this claim has been given up for the time being.

Russia has made a cautious comment on the proposals. Foreign Minister Lavrow indicated that Russia wanted to adhere to its maximum claims. At the same time, Trump and other western leaders plan to put further pressure on Russia, possibly through stricter sanctions. Economists warn that the economic problems of Russia could increase, which makes the country more susceptible to new sanctions.
