“There is no need for steps to imitate peaceful measures,” Ishkov told state television late Wednesday. Later his comments were published by the Russian News Agency Interfax.
The first public reaction to the US -backed proposal by the Kremlin’s comments was that Ukraine agreed to stop the war, which is now in its fourth year. However, it was not immediately clear whether Ishakov’s intervention reflects Russia’s official status on a ceasefire plan.
