This was stated by the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov.
“We met with a completely incomprehensible, inexplicable reaction, a rather cynical reaction from, first of all, Kyiv, as well as from many Western leaders.
I repeat once again: cynical and inexplicable,” he said.
On January 5, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that, in accordance with the instructions of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the troops were ordered to cease fire along the entire line of contact between the parties in Ukraine for 36 hours from 12:00 on January 6.
The Russian side called on the Ukrainian army to declare a ceasefire for Christmas Eve and Christmas.
