Putin's ceasefire would begin in time for the observation of Christmas by Russia's Orthodox Church on January 7.
10 months of war
The Kremlin said Putin had ordered a ceasefire from midday on Friday, January 6, after a call for a Christmas truce by Patriarch Kirill of Moscow, head of the Russian Orthodox Church. Asked about the proposed truce, Biden told reporters at the White House: “I’m reluctant to respond to anything that Putin says. I found it interesting that he was willing to bomb hospitals and nurseries and churches…on the 25th and New Year’s. I mean, I think he’s trying to find some oxygen.”
“All this means that Washington is set on fighting with us ‘to the last Ukrainian,’ and the fate of Ukraine’s people does not worry the Americans at all,” Antonov said in remarks on the embassy’s Facebook page that were framed as responses to media questions.
