   Peskov accuses Kyiv of seeking truce to regroup, not vote

   Peskov argued Kyiv's real aim for a 60-day pause was to regroup and heal militarily rather than organize elections, and said Putin might halt strikes only on election day itself rather than for two months.

   “Kyiv needs 60-day truce not to organize ballot, 'but to regroup, heal their wounds, and continue the war'”

     Russia declined the offer of the 60-day ceasefire. Liar Peskov claimed Russia does not want "a ceasefire; we want long-term peace." He added that Russia is ready to have a ceasefire for the one election day. NOTHING in Russia's actions or claims points to them wanting peace.

     Zelenskyy just flipped the script. Trump wants a new Ukrainian president? Fine. Zelenskyy: Give us a 60-day total ceasefire and we’ll hold elections. Ball’s in Russia’s court. Refuse and the blockage is clear. Accept and Ukraine gets a pause. Your move Putin & Trump.

   Observers call the offer a shrewd pressure tactic on Putin

   Commentators framed Zelensky's conditional offer as shifting responsibility for continued war onto Moscow, turning the elections demand from a weapon against Zelensky into a test of Putin's intentions.

   “In a very shrewd but dangerous political move, Zelensky offers a 60-day ceasefire and elections, putting the onus squarely on Putin to show whether he actually wants peace.”
