The Kremlin has said that contacts were ongoing about a possible energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, which was announced by US president Donald Trump.⁣ ⁣ Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declined to comment on whether the ceasefire would apply only to oil refineries and said further information would be revealed in due course.⁣ ⁣ The Kremlin rejected a 60-day ceasefire idea proposed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to allow his country to hold presidential elections, saying it wanted an overall peace deal instead.⁣ ⁣ Russia has long pressed Ukraine to hold elections and says that its failure to do so makes Zelenskyy an illegitimate leader. Elections in wartime are prohibited by Ukrainian law.⁣ ⁣ #russia #ukraine #putin #zelenskyy #kremlin #trump #donaldtrump #usa #ceasefire
