MOSCOW — The Kremlin said on Wednesday it would review details from Washington about a proposal for a 30-day cease-fire in Ukraine before responding, while US Secretary of State Marco Rubio hoped a deal would be struck within days.
As Moscow considered the plan, President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday made a visit to Russia's Kursk region for the first time since Ukrainian troops captured part of it last year.
Valery Gerasimov, head of Russia's General Staff, told Putin that his troops had repelled Ukrainian forces from 86 percent of the ground they once held in Kursk. Ukraine had hoped to use that territory as a bargaining chip in any peace talks with Moscow.
