ISW considers Moscow’s proposal for a one-day ceasefire during the elections unserious. The Kremlin regularly rejects compromise proposals that are unfavorable to Russia
A one-day ceasefire on the day of the likely vote in Ukraine’s elections, which the kremlin is “agreeing to,” is an unserious proposal and an outright refusal by moscow of any ceasefire that would allow Ukraine to organize and hold legitimate elections. The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reports, UNN informs.
Details
Analysts point out that the kremlin’s statements against the backdrop of overnight strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure on October 11–12 confirm that no ceasefire exists, and that moscow continues to disregard the terms of the proposed ceasefire announced by U.S. President Donald Trump on October 11.
the kremlin regularly unilaterally rejects compromise proposals that are unfavorable to russia, and russia will likely refuse to agree to halt its strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure ahead of winter
Analysts note that moscow is likely rejecting “any meaningful ceasefire agreement that does not allow russia to maximize the damage it inflicts on Ukraine.”
