Kremlin Responds to Trump's Ultimatum on Ukraine War Ceasefire

The Kremlin has taken a measured approach in reacting to a recent ultimatum issued by Donald Trump concerning the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed that the Russian leadership is fully aware of Trump's statements. Despite the pressure, Peskov emphasized that the 'special operation'—as the Kremlin officially refers to the war in Ukraine—will continue. In remarks made on Monday during a visit to Scotland, President Trump announced he is extending another ten or twelve days for Russian President Vladimir Putin to reach an agreement for a ceasefire with Ukraine. This timeline presents a challenge for the Russian administration as it balances international relations and its military objectives amidst ongoing tensions in the region.
