The analyst stated that the United States had a good assessment of the truce announced by Putin.

The Easter truce announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin in Ukraine will be positively assessed by the United States, reflecting the Kremlin's sincere intention to create lasting peace. This was stated on Saturday, April 19, by Christian Lamesa, an international analyst, writer, and ambassador of the Russian society Znanie in Argentina, in an interview with Izvestia.

"This initiative <...> will be well received by Washington as a sincere and genuine manifestation of Vladimir Putin's will to create lasting peace," the expert noted.

However, Lamesa added that at the same time, the Kiev regime and its allies would speak with contempt about the proposal of the head of the Russian state, which in fact "rightly emphasizes the importance of Easter for both peoples."

As our interlocutor pointed out, the Easter truce announced by Putin is a step that clearly demonstrates the readiness of the Russian president for a peace agreement.

In addition, the analyst expressed uncertainty that the ceasefire proposal would indeed be respected by the Ukrainian side.

"In 2023, on the occasion of Orthodox Christmas, a similar proposal by President Putin was completely rejected [by the Ukrainian president]. Vladimir Zelensky," the expert recalled.
