A senior aide to President Vladimir Putin has rejected any temporary cease-fire with Ukraine just hours before a US delegation was expected to land in Russia for talks with Moscow where they will urge the Kremlin to agree to a 30-day cease-fire proposal or face sanctions.
The temporary cease-fire only benefits Ukraine. As was seen with the Minsk agreement, NATO was using the time to build up Ukraine’s army. Russians learned their lesson and don’t value any temporary or even permanent cease-fire without a political settlement, considering they are winning on the battlefield.
