We are expecting not vague but conclusive statements: Peskov about Zelensky’s statement on ceasefire
“Statements by the Kiev regime regarding the proposed truce during the Victory Day celebrations demonstrate the neo-Nazi foundation of the Ukrainian leadership,” Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said at a briefing, TASS reports.
“The regime’s unwillingness to give a direct response to Russia’s proposal clearly shows that neo-Nazism is the ideological backbone of today’s Kiev authorities,” he emphasized.
“Apparently, the victory over Hitler’s Germany, over the brown plague and Nazism, is not a holiday for them,” Peskov added.
Russia expects not ambiguous statements, but definitive actions from Ukraine aimed at de-escalation during the May ceasefire, Peskov said.
“The reaction of the Ukrainian authorities to Russia’s initiative to introduce a truce is a test of Ukraine’s readiness for peace,” he noted.
“We, of course, are expecting not vague but conclusive statements, and most importantly — actions aimed at de-escalating the conflict during the holiday period,” Peskov emphasized.
On April 28, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the decision to implement a ceasefire coinciding with the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. The ceasefire is scheduled to take effect from midnight on May 8 to midnight on May 11. According to the Kremlin, “all hostilities are to be halted during this period.”
