The Kremlin is prioritizing a long-term settlement over a temporary ceasefire in Ukraine, Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov said on March 13, calling the U.S. truce proposal a “respite for the Ukrainian military.”<\/p>\n

His remarks come as U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff<\/a>, reportedly arrived in Moscow for talks on a proposed 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Russian President Vladimir Putin is expected to provide further comments on March 13. <\/p>\n

“We believe that our goal is a long-term peaceful settlement, and we are striving for that, a peaceful settlement that takes into account the legitimate interests of our country and our known concerns,” Ushakov said on state television.<\/p>\n

Ushakov added that he outlined Russia’s position on the ceasefire<\/a> to U.S. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz. <\/p>\n

“I outlined our position that this (ceasefire) is nothing more than a temporary respite for the Ukrainian military, nothing more,” Ushakov said.<\/p>\n

Asked about Witkoff\u2019s possible arrival in Moscow<\/a>, Ushakov declined to comment, saying, “We agreed that this kind of contact would be of a closed nature.”<\/p>\n

Kyiv agreed to the U.S. proposal during negotiations in Jeddah<\/a> on March 11, after which Washington resumed<\/a> military and intelligence support for Ukraine.<\/p>\n

U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham called for sanctions<\/a> against Russia if Moscow refuses a proposed ceasefire. He promised to introduce new congressional measures targeting Russia and nations that continue to buy Russian goods, including oil, gas, and uranium.<\/p>\n

In the past, Moscow ruled out a temporary ceasefire that would freeze the conflict along the current front lines. Russian nationalist voices and pro-war bloggers have already spoken out<\/a> against the U.S.-backed proposal.<\/p>\n

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov<\/a> confirmed that U.S. officials are in Moscow but did not disclose Russia’s position on the ceasefire proposal. <\/p>\n
