Evidence

Web search access was largely exhausted after one successful query, limiting verification. The one result found (RT English, undated/recent) reports Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stating that Russia would only agree to halt strikes on Ukraine for a single election day, not for a longer pause such as the 60-day 'total truce' Zelensky had proposed, arguing a long pause would let Ukraine 'regroup, recover from their losses, and continue the war.' This is thematically consistent with the claim that 'Russia would not pause fighting for that long,' but I could not locate the exact quoted phrase, confirm which specific ceasefire proposal (e.g., a 30-day truce, Easter truce, or other) it refers to, or find a dedicated fact-check from Reuters, AFP, Bellingcat, or EUvsDisinfo addressing this precise statement before search access was cut off.
