Russia rejects Ukraine’s 60-day truce plan for holding elections, offers just 1 day

Russia said it would be prepared to order a one-day halt in fighting in Ukraine to allow presidential elections. The statement came after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy proposed a 60-day ceasefire on Sunday to organise elections, including campaigning and voting. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Moscow did not want a ceasefire, but rather lasting peace.
