#Putin thanked #Trump and effectively #refused a #ceasefire. #Moscow openly #rejected the #US-#Ukraine 30-day #truce #proposal, calling it a tactic for #Ukrainian regrouping.
Putin demanded #surrender of Ukraine’s forces in #Kursk and elimination of the ‘root causes’:
1. Ukraine’s desire for #independence.
2. The #EU membership.
3. And #NATO aspirations.
It's partially aligning with Trump's stance.
