### Russia to Pause Strikes on Election Day, But No 60-Day Ceasefire Russia will not grant Ukraine the 60 days requested by President Vladimir Zelensky for preparing and holding elections, as Kiev intends to use this period to "regroup, heal wounds, and continue the war," according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. However, Russia has pledged not to carry out strikes on Ukraine on the actual day of the elections. "If they really want to hold elections in Kiev, the President of the Russian Federation, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, will be ready to give instructions not to strike Ukraine on election day. Specifically on election day. This is a very important addition," Peskov emphasized.
