Russian President Vladimir Putin rejected on Thursday the idea of a mutual halt to long-range strikes between Russia and Ukraine, responding to proposals that had been put forward by both Kyiv and Washington, according to Le Monde.
The rejection came as part of Putin's broader remarks addressing the ongoing war in Ukraine, with Le Monde's live coverage noting his dismissal of the specific mutual-halt proposal rather than a broader ceasefire.
Proposals From Kyiv and Washington
Le Monde's report indicates that both Ukrainian and US officials had floated the concept of each side stopping long-range strikes as a potential step toward reducing hostilities, an idea Putin did not accept in his Thursday remarks.
The report does not specify Putin's stated reasoning for rejecting the proposal in detail, nor does it outline what alternative steps, if any, he suggested in its place.
The rejection comes amid continued fighting between Russian and Ukrainian forces, with long-range strikes on infrastructure and military targets remaining a persistent feature of the conflict as diplomatic efforts to curb the fighting have so far yielded limited results.
