To have time to rearm: Kremlin cynically responds to ceasefire calls during 2024 Games, lying about Ukraine

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov hypocritically reacted to French President Emmanuel Macron's call for an Olympic ceasefire for the 2024 Games. The spokesman for dictator Vladimir Putin cynically accused Ukraine of constant attempts to escalate the war that Russia started in the first place.

Peskov, repeating the same old lies, said this in a commentary to Interfax. The accomplice in Russia's war crimes against Ukraine added that Russia allegedly had not received any official ceasefire proposals.

"So far, no one has taken any official steps in this regard. Both the president and our military have pointed out that, as a rule, the Kyiv regime uses such initiatives to try to regroup, rearm, and so on. This, of course, complicates the process of considering such initiatives," Peskov said, without mentioning that Russia invaded Ukraine two days after the end of the 2022 Olympics.

Earlier, Putin himself commented on Macron's call for an Olympic truce, saying that Russia allegedly "wants to build good neighborly relations between the two states," while Ukraine's traitor Sergey Karjakin called it "borderline cynicism" to demand that Russia stop killing Ukrainians.
