Putin Rejects Immediate Cease-Fire in Ukraine

Story by Matthew Luxmoore March 13, 2025

 

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday he didn’t support an immediate cease-fire in Ukraine, calling for more discussion on a permanent end to the war as Moscow’s army made rapid gains toward expelling Kyiv’s forces from its Kursk region.

 

Putin said any pause in fighting at this point would be in Ukraine’s interest because Russia is gaining on the battlefield, and a host of issues would need to be resolved before a cease-fire could be reached.

 

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday he didn’t support an immediate cease-fire in Ukraine, calling for more discussion on a permanent end to the war as Moscow’s army made rapid gains toward expelling Kyiv’s forces from its Kursk region.

 

Putin said any pause in fighting at this point would be in Ukraine’s interest because Russia is gaining on the battlefield, and a host of issues would need to be resolved before a cease-fire could be reached.

 

“The idea itself is good, and we of course support it, but there are questions we have to discuss,” Putin said, referring to a proposed 30-day cease-fire in the war, adding that Russia sought a lasting peace that would need to eliminate the “root causes” of the conflict.

 

The comments were the first official response from Moscow after Ukraine agreed this week to a U.S.-backed proposal for a pause in the war, now in its fourth year. Putin spoke as President Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, was due in Moscow to discuss the cease-fire proposal, according to two U.S. officials.

 

Trump said Thursday that he planned to speak with Putin soon and he was pressing for a speedy end to the conflict.

 

“He put out a very promising statement, but it wasn’t complete,” Trump said of Putin’s comments.

 

“I’d love to meet with him and talk to him, but we have to get it over with fast,” Trump said, sitting next to NATO secretary-general Mark Rutte. Asked about the continuing talks with Russia, Trump said they were “very serious” and added, “Hopefully they’ll do the right thing.”

 

The cease-fire offer, negotiated by the U.S. and Ukraine in Saudi Arabia this week, put pressure on the Russian president to signal a willingness to work toward peace. On Thursday, Putin thanked Trump for bringing attention to the cease-fire in Ukraine, but he also raised a litany of complex issues that he said needed to be resolved before the fighting could end.

 

Putin said it wasn’t clear how such a cease-fire would be enforced and whether it would give Ukraine the chance to shore up its forces. “Who will give orders to stop fighting? What is the price of those orders? Who will determine where and by whom they were violated?” he said, adding that he intended to discuss such questions with Trump.

 

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called Putin’s response “highly predictable” and “manipulative words” aimed at dragging out the process by setting unworkable preconditions.

 

“Of course, Putin is afraid to tell President Trump directly that he wants to continue this war and keep killing Ukrainians,” Zelensky said in his nightly video address. “Putin does this often—he doesn’t say ‘no’ outright, but he drags things out and makes reasonable solutions impossible.”

 

Russia in the past has repeatedly ruled out a temporary cease-fire, and insisted that a lasting agreement to halt fighting would take time to negotiate.

 

Many of the “root causes” of the war cited by Putin were set out in a draft treaty drawn up by Russian and Ukrainian negotiators in April 2022, weeks after Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began.

 

Russia justified its invasion that year as a defense against North Atlantic Treaty Organization expansion, and that document envisions a postwar Ukraine that is a disarmed and permanently neutral state unaligned with any military blocs.

 

Moscow insists on keeping at least the 18% of Ukrainian territory it already controls, an area equivalent to Virginia in size. It wants to reverse policies that have sidelined Russian cultural influence in Ukraine and preclude the country’s membership in NATO.

 

With its army advancing on the battlefield and retaking territory Ukraine had hoped to use as a bargaining chip, Russia has little incentive to stop the fighting.

 

“Putin doesn’t feel any pressure,” said Konstantin Sonin, a Russia expert who teaches at the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy. “Trump has no leverage over him, and he thinks he’s winning.”

 

Russia’s military said Thursday that it had retaken Sudzha, the biggest town held by Ukraine in the Kursk region, after recapturing a string of villages in recent days. Ukraine didn’t respond to a request for comment. Kyiv has been using Sudzha as a logistical hub to resupply troops in the area.
