Moscow - Saba:
A prominent member of the Russian parliament confirmed that any agreement on Ukraine will be on Moscow's terms, not Washington's, in response to a ceasefire proposal reached by American and Ukrainian officials.
Konstantin Kosachev, chairman of the International Affairs Committee of the Russian Federation Council, the upper house of parliament, said in a Telegram post: "Russia is advancing (in Ukraine), so it will be different with Russia."
He added: "Any agreements, with full understanding of the need for compromise, will be on our terms, not America's. This is not to brag, but to understand that real agreements are still being prepared... and Washington must understand this as well."
A Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman stated that "our main news on Ukraine will come from Moscow, not Washington or Kyiv."
On Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called on the US administration to convince Russia of the US proposal for a 30-day ceasefire.
Zelensky said, "Washington must persuade Moscow to accept the 30-day ceasefire proposal put forward during the Ukrainian-American talks in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia."
