[NYPOST] Russia is taking US proposals for a cease-fire in Ukraine ''seriously'' but can't accept the deal as it stands, a senior Russian diplomat said Tuesday — suggesting peace talks between the two countries have stalled.
''We take the models and solutions proposed by the Americans very seriously, but we can't accept it all in its current form,'' Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said, according to state media.
''As far as we can see, there is no place in them today for our main demand, namely to solve the problems related to the root causes of this conflict. It is completely absent, and that must be overcome,'' Ryabkov said.

This was reported by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrsky in Telegram following a meeting on Monday, March 31.
"Thanks to the management decisions taken and the steadfastness of Ukrainian soldiers, this task was partially accomplished, in particular, with regard to the Pokrovsk direction. Here, in the operational zone of the Donetsk OTG, the enemy is concentrating its main offensive efforts, but is actually stalling in place," he wrote.

He drew attention to the need to increase the number of fiber-optic drones that are resistant to enemy electronic warfare systems.
"In addition, he defined the tasks for staffing combat brigades with personnel. He emphasized the need to improve the quality of training, because the preservation of the lives of our soldiers depends on this direction," the commander-in-chief noted.
He also noted that the basic general military training course had already been optimized and an adaptation period had been introduced for new recruits.
"The BZVP and increased its duration to 1.5 months, introduced a mandatory adaptation period for newcomers in combat brigades, and this gives positive results - this month we recorded a decrease in losses compared to previous ones. However, there is still work to do. It is worth achieving the highest standards of training," Syrsky said.
The issue of maintaining and preparing weapons for use in the spring-summer season, increasing the protection of various types of military equipment from FPV drones and maximizing the use of combat capabilities of equipment was also considered.
Let us recall that on March 30, 171 combat clashes took place on the front in 24 hours . The Russian army lost more than 1,200 soldiers killed and wounded. The total losses of the Russian army since the beginning of the war are approaching 1 million people .

[Regnum] Statements by US President Donald Trump that he was angered by a conversation with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin demonstrate a change in Washington's policy toward Moscow. This was stated by The Washington Post.
"The comments mark a change from the softer approach toward Russia and its president that Trump has taken in the first two months of his new administration," the article, published March 30, said.
It is noted that Trump's previous approach led to "the creation of a world more favorable to Moscow" and the weakening of NATO's position.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on March 30, the NBC News channel stated that the head of the White House was allegedly "very angry and furious" after the Russian leader's words about the illegitimacy of the head of the Kiev regime, Volodymyr Zelensky. The publication emphasized that the reason for such a reaction was Putin's proposal to create a transitional government in Ukraine under the auspices of the UN and a number of countries. According to the TV channel, Trump also threatened to impose duties on Russian oil in the amount of 25% to 50% if Moscow does not agree to resolve the armed conflict with Kiev.
However, Trump also noted that he maintains a good relationship with the Russian leader and intends to hold another telephone conversation this week, NBC News reports.
In response, the press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, reported that the statements published by the American TV channel were presented in a retelling, without supporting quotes. He also added that Moscow continues to work with Washington, primarily on building bilateral relations, which were significantly damaged by the previous administration. In addition, Peskov clarified that Putin remains open to dialogue with Trump, and their conversation will be promptly organized if necessary.
