At a press conference last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin said the idea of a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine was "right and we support it... but there are nuances," the BBC writes.
Some of the Russian leader's questions about the ceasefire proposal relate to how the ceasefire will be implemented and who will end the fighting.
Putin asked, "How will those 30 days be used? For Ukraine to mobilize? Rearmament? Military training? Or none of these? Then the question arises, how will the ceasefire be controlled?"
The official Kremlin has stated that it shares "cautious optimism" with the United States regarding the peace process, following the meeting that Putin had with the American special envoy, Steve Witkoff, in Moscow last week.
However, Zelensky has called Putin's response "manipulative" and called for more sanctions on Russia.
"Putin doesn't say no directly, but in practice, he is preparing to reject the ceasefire," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
