Accused of stalling, Russia wants answers before truce

KREMLIN BLAMES LACK OF PROGRESS ON 'KYIV REGIME'S UNCONTROLLABILITY'

- 

The Kremlin yesterday said that it supported the idea of a truce in Ukraine, but had many "questions" about how it would work, pushing back at US and European suggestions that it was playing for time.

US President Donald Trump has voiced growing frustration at the lack of progress towards a ceasefire in the three-year-long conflict, despite his administration holding talks with both Ukrainian and Russian officials.

'Bombing goes on and on'

The US leader in March said that he was upset with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and on Sunday told reporters: "We'd like them to stop. I don't like the bombing. The bombing goes on and on."

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters yesterday that "Putin does support the idea that a ceasefire is needed, but before that, a whole range of questions have to be answered."
