Russian President Vladimir Putin said yesterday he had “serious questions” about Washington’s plan for a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine but Moscow was ready to discuss it with US President Donald Trump.

Putin made his first comments on the plan, which Ukraine agreed to Tuesday at talks with the United States, saying he was “for” the proposed ceasefire, but “there are nuances” and he had “serious questions” about how it would work.

Putin told reporters: “I think we need to talk to our American colleagues... Maybe have a phone call with President Trump and discuss this with him.”
