Ukraine proposed an immediate ceasefire, Russia rejected a pause in the Northern Military District

Kyiv is ready for an immediate ceasefire, said Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spoke about this.

The message indicates that this agreement was recorded in a joint statement with 51 UN member countries, but the document itself has not yet been published.

According to the diplomat, Ukraine is ready for an “immediate and unconditional ceasefire” and calls on Russia to do the same.

Russia will not pause in the Northern Military District

Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at a meeting of the UN Security Council on Ukraine indicated that Russia is ready for negotiations on a long-term and sustainable settlement, but will not pause in a special military operation (SVO) for the period of discussions in any format.

During a meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly (GA) with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, he added that Moscow is committed to achieving the goals of the NWO.

Kyiv's attempt to deceive Moscow

According to military blogger Boris Rozhin, the statement of the Ukrainian minister is another attempt to deceive Moscow. He recalled that a temporary ceasefire is not of interest to Russia, since it will not lead to an end to the conflict. According to Rozhin, it will only give a respite to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) and Kyiv’s Western partners.

The Telegram channel “Military Correspondents of the Russian Spring” also noted that Sibiga’s statement is nothing more than an attempt to “push through a temporary ceasefire” again.

Zelensky stated his desire to move towards a settlement

On September 21, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky spoke about the desire to move to a diplomatic settlement of the conflict. He also noted that he is ready to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Ukrainian leader’s words were published by Strana.ua.

The Kremlin's position

At the same time, the Kremlin believes that Zelensky’s words about a ceasefire and the continuation of the conflict do not fit. Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov emphasized that recently Kyiv made a statement about “causing damage to the Russian economy” within 40 days.
