Will Russia agree to a ceasefire after U.S.-Ukraine talks?

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the ball was in Russian President Vladimir Putin's court after agreeing to a temporary ceasefire in Ukraine.

All eyes were on Moscow on Wednesday after American and Ukrainian officials said they would be willing to enforce a 30-day ceasefire in the country's three-year war — and made it clear the ball was in Russia’s court.

The Kremlin said it was wary of "jumping the gun" following the talks, and that it would wait to hear from Washington directly about the possibility of a call between presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin this week.

“We are carefully studying the statements,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters, adding that officials in Moscow were familiarizing themselves with the joint statement issued after breakthrough talks between Ukrainian and Russian officials.

Peskov did not rule out a conversation between Trump and Putin later, which the U.S. president said Tuesday was in the cards.
