Kremlin’s Final Warning To Ukraine As Putin-Trump Call Rules Out Ceasefire

The Kremlin has ruled out any ceasefire as Russia hardens its position on Ukraine. Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said a truce was not discussed and confirmed that Moscow expects another phone call between President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump. Peskov reiterated Russia’s demand that Ukrainian forces withdraw from parts of Donbas still under Kyiv’s control, warning that peace would only come on Moscow’s terms. With negotiations intensifying and diplomatic pressure growing, the comments highlight how far apart the sides remain as talks enter what Russia calls a “final stage.”
