Putin rejects Ukraine's truce proposal, vows to fight until Russia achieves territorial goals
President Putin firmly dismissed Ukraine's ceasefire request, insisting that military actions will persist until Donbas and Novorossiya are fully liberated. He pointed to Ukraine's troop shortages and the success of Russian offensive operations as justification for his stance. Despite recognizing Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian targets, he maintained their limited effect on the front lines while expressing a willingness for diplomatic discussions with the US, possibly including Belarus.
