Kiev residents in Ukraine: We don't believe in the Putin truce.

Russian troops have attacked central Ukraine only a few hours after the US and Ukraine accord with a 30-day war-stop deal. As a result of the attacks, a woman has remained dead, but many residence buildings have already been destroyed.

It is already known that in Kursk, Russia has just brought Ukrainian troops to the brink of collapse. The complete rerun of the Russian region seems imminent, German media stress. From a purely military perspective, Putin could refuse a ceasefire unless US President Trump radically changes his course.

This fact is also known by the Ukrainians themselves, who speak highly of a scheme for a Russian weapon.

“Given the fact that while the talks were still under way, Russia issued fears regarding us, chances are small for Russia to agree with (the truce). So we have to continue to do what we need”, Pavlo Hryndach said.

Let's imagine ourselves in Russia's country, the 30-day ceasefire will allow them to collect more drones and rockets and in 30 days organise double attacks. Russia wants Odessa. Russia wants to have Kharkivin, Russia wants to have Sumy, Russia wants to have all of Ukraine”, says Daria Li, lawyer from Kiev.

Now, to be honest, I have many doubts that Putin will agree with the truce. They officially said several times that they will not stop until they seize the Kherson region, the Zaporizzia region, which is clearly unacceptable to us”, adds Zakhar Gruzdev, manager from Kiev.

President Vladimir Putin is unlikely to accept easily the US proposal for a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine, Russian sources told Reuters, adding that any agreement should take into account Russian advances in the field of battle and address Moscow's concerns.
