Russia dismisses proposals for a ceasefire in the Black Sea with Ukraine, saying there is no basis for measures it describes as temporary. In a statement reported by multiple outlets, Russia’s Foreign Ministry says it sees no grounds for “half-measures” that would provide a respite for Ukrainian forces.

The comments address calls for a ceasefire focused on the Black Sea, but Russia does not indicate support for an alternative arrangement in the cited reporting. Both outlets frame the response in similar terms, emphasizing Russia’s view that a limited or interim pause would primarily help Ukraine regroup. The statements reflect the ongoing dispute over ceasefire proposals and how any temporary measures would affect military operations.

The reporting centers on Russia’s official position rather than on Ukraine’s response or on any details of proposed ceasefire terms, timing, or verification mechanisms.
