Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that Moscow agrees with the US ceasefire proposal for Ukraine but that a number of details need to be clarified before the fighting stops, as quoted by Reuters.

"But we proceed from the fact that this cessation should be such that it would lead to long-term peace and would eliminate the original causes of this crisis."
