Russia's "air truce" is a trap – Center for Countering Disinformation

A possible proposal by the aggressor country russia as a concession to US President Donald Trump to stop air strikes on Ukraine without stopping hostilities is a trap. The head of the Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD) under the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) Andrii Kovalenko announced this on the Telegram channel, the Ukrainian News agency reports.

"The Russians will continue to try to stall for time, but wrap it up in ideas like "ceasefire in the air", but not on the ground, which Western media have already written about. In fact, this is a trap, since there is no intention to stop the war. On the contrary, the Russians' intention is to continue it and do it so that they do not feel painful blows deep into the Russian Federation, as well as paralyzed air traffic - this, I believe, is our most successful action, because it is the paralysis of both civil aviation and cargo logistics, which depends on the operation of airports," he noted. Kovalenko noted that Russia is currently giving civilians a nightmare, but in terms of military targets, their air strikes have a very low percentage of hitting, while Ukraine's strikes are more targeted and more successful, so the Russian Federation wants an air pause in order to accumulate resources to resume strikes at the right moment for them and avoid sanctions now, continuing the war on the ground.

"A complete ceasefire and a meeting of leaders should be important. Everything else is Russian feints that cannot be tolerated and must be immediately punished with sanctions," he stressed.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, Bloomberg informed that the kremlin is considering making a concession to US President Donald Trump to stop airstrikes on Ukraine, but without stopping hostilities, in this way the aggressor country russia wants to avoid secondary US sanctions.
