Kremlin: Russia opposes Ukraine's ceasefire, says there are no obstacles to setting a date for trilateral talks Kremlin spokesman Peskov said that Russia has repeatedly confirmed its opposition to a ceasefire aimed at giving Ukraine a chance to breathe. He said that Russia continues its military operation to deprive Kiev of its ability to launch attacks, and that preparations for the tripartite talks do not include commitments to stop or limit military operations. He added that Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries and Kiev's attempts to attack Moscow do not complicate the talks.
