Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday said Russia agrees in principle with the U.S.-led ceasefire plan backed by Ukraine earlier this week, but that it needed to lead to “enduring peace.”

“We agree with the proposal for a ceasefire, to cease hostilities, but we proceed from the fact that this ceasefire should lead to an enduring peace and should remove the root causes of this crisis,” Putin said, according to a live translation of a press briefing.

“We are in favor of it but there are nuances,” he said.

Putin thanked U.S. President Donald Trump for giving “so much attention” to the prospect of a Russia-Ukraine deal.

U.S. negotiators are in Moscow for Ukraine war ceasefire talks on Thursday after Kyiv backed a White House-brokered 30-day ceasefire deal, contingent on Moscow’s agreement.
