He says it’s now up to Ukraine. – We have never rejected dialogue with Ukraine, says Putin at a press conference night to Sunday Norwegian time. Putin also says he will talk to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday. – We are set on serious conversations with Ukraine. The goal is to remove the fundamental causes of the conflict and create long -term peace with a historical perspective, Putin told the journalists in Moscow. Russia’s three -day one -sided ceasefire in Ukraine, expired at midnight Russian time. Ukraine has said the ceasefire was broken several hundred times by the Russians themselves, while Putin last night claimed that Ukraine had broken the ceasefire. Threatening Russia with new sanctions on Saturday, Ukraine and the so -called coalition of willing countries agreed on a proposal for a 30 -day conditionless ceasefire in Ukraine from May 12, a proposal also US President Donald Trump is said to have joined. If Russia says no to the proposal, stricter western sanctions, including with Trump’s support. Putin has not agreed to such a ceasefire from Monday. At the press conference night to Sunday he did not mention the play from Ukraine and its allies, but said he will not set conditions. “We do not rule out that during the negotiations there may be agreement on a new ceasefire, a new ceasefire that is complied with by both Russia and Ukraine would be the first step toward lasting peace, and not upturned to continued armed conflict,” Putin said at the night to Sunday, without mentioning Saturday’s ceasefire from Ukraine and the country’s allies.
