00:00The Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that he agrees in principle with
00:05the U.S. proposal for a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine, but the terms need to be worked out,
00:11and he emphasized that it should pave the way to lasting peace.
00:16TRANSLATOR We agree with the proposals to stop the hostilities,
00:23but we proceed from the fact that this ceasefire should be such that it will lead to long-term
00:29peace and eliminate the original roots of this crisis.
00:37Putin further noted that while it appeared that the U.S. persuaded Ukraine to accept
00:41a ceasefire, Ukraine is interested in that because of the battlefield situation, noting
00:47that Ukrainian troops that launch an incursion into Russia's Kask region will be fully blocked
00:52in the coming days.
00:54Russia had also earlier on said that it will not accept any troops from NATO for any peacekeeping
01:00mission in the region.
