Russia, together with the American side, is looking for options for easing sanctions against the Russian Federation, using the topic of a possible truce with Ukraine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

An informed source in the Ukrainian authorities told RBC-Ukraine<\/a> about this.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to the interlocutor, Moscow may use the alleged willingness to agree to a temporary ceasefire as a “bargaining coin.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This includes a short-term ceasefire – for example, for a week. This is what the Russian side intends to do, which could be the basis for a partial lifting of sanctions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“They want to start a ceasefire at some point and try, for example, to agree on a week-long ceasefire. And in return for this, partially lift sanctions. America will receive news of silence on the front, Putin – a partial easing of sanctions and corresponding higher revenues,” the interlocutor said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to him, this is actually a matter of “trade” without any real security guarantees for Ukraine, which cannot please Kyiv.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The source also links such ideas to the approaching US Congressional elections, when it may be important for the American authorities to demonstrate at least a temporary reduction in tension on the front.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As an example, he cited Belarus, where in exchange for a gradual easing of sanctions, in particular on the export of potassium, Alexander Lukashenko agreed to release some political prisoners, without changing his policy in essence.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As a reminder, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has declared his readiness to declare a ceasefire by May 9.<\/a> <\/p>\n
