MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia has never opposed a ceasefire in Ukraine, Russian state-run news agencies reported on Wednesday, citing foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.
Responding to remarks by U.S. envoy Keith Kellogg that Russian President Vladimir Putin may be obstructing a comprehensive ceasefire, Zakharova expressed surprise at such allegations.
"The only obstacle to the ceasefire is Kyiv, which violates agreements and is unwilling to seriously discuss the terms of a long-term ceasefire," Zakharova said.
A ceasefire along the entire front line involves a lot of nuances that need to be worked out, Zakharova said.
