A senior aide to President Vladimir Putin has rejected any temporary cease-fire with Ukraine just hours before a US delegation was expected to land in Russia for talks with Moscow where they will urge the Kremlin to agree to a 30-day cease-fire proposal or face sanctions.
Possible, and harmless to Russia since Biden’s administration sanctioned pretty much everything they could already. I will not be surprised though if Trump announces he’s relaxing sanctions based on a promise from Putin to consider future negotiations.
