Russia has not yet submitted its memorandum outlining its ceasefire terms and has declared its readiness to continue the war.

The Ukrainian peace memorandum includes provisions for a ceasefire on land, in the air, and at sea. Monitoring compliance with these conditions should involve international partners.

After reviewing the memorandum, US Special Envoy Keith Kellogg confirmed receipt of the document and stated that it contains 22 points, describing them as “quite good” and “reasonable.” He also emphasized that Ukraine should not refuse to engage in negotiations, even if the Russian memorandum is not submitted before they begin. Ukraine continues to insist on the necessity for a preliminary exchange of proposals.

Meanwhile, Russia’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzia, said that Moscow is considering the possibility of a ceasefire, but only if Kyiv halts mobilization and Western countries suspend arms supplies. He added that Russia is prepared to continue hostilities “as long as necessary.”

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha responded to Nebenzia’s statement, calling it “Russia’s slap in the face to everyone who stands for peace.”
