The Kremlin accused Ukraine on Saturday of having ruined a truce by refusing to negotiate, on the third day the invasion launched by President Vladimir Putin against the neighboring country.
“In line with the expected negotiations, yesterday afternoon the Russian president ordered to suspend the advance of the main forces” of the Moscow troops, affirmed the spokesman of the executive, Dmitri Peskov. “Because the Ukrainian side rejected negotiations, the Russian forces resumed the advance this afternoon.”
Hours later, Putin called on the Ukrainian army to stage a coup, calling Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky and his circle a “gang of drug addicts and neo-Nazis”.
The United States rejected the offer. of Russia as hardly credible.
When asked about the cascade of sanctions against Russia, Peskov replied that these measures were “foreseeable” and stated that “There are measures to minimize its effect for all sectors of the economy.”
“We are going to have to develop retaliation measures“, he concluded.
