Andrew Marr cuts short interview with Putin ally | LBC

Andrew Marr is joined by Sergei Markov, a former adviser to President Putin, Director of the Institute for Political Studies.

Vladimir Putin's ceasefire conditions are for Western countries to stop arming Ukraine and for Kyiv to stop its mass military mobilisation programme, the former Kremlin adviser has said.

But the interview doesn't last long before Andrew Marr has to tell Sergei Markov, "a lot of that is contested here in the West..."

Sergei Markov, a former adviser to the Russian president, told LBC's Andrew Marr that the conditions would be "simple" in themselves, but "difficult" to accept for the US and Ukraine.

It comes after the Russian president told reporters that he accepted the idea of peace in principle, but there were "nuances" to be ironed out.

Many Western observers have interpreted this as an attempt to equivocate on the US' peace proposal and not reject it outright. US envoy Steve Witkoff is in Moscow for a meeting with Mr Putin to discuss the deal.
