[Russian Official: "Difficult to Judge" Whether Partial Ceasefire Will Affect Ukraine Negotiations] Golden Finance reports that on October 25, Valery Gerasimov, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, announced on the 23rd that Russian troops would cease fire in the Kherson direction and enter a "quiet" state starting at 4:00 AM Moscow time on October 27 to coordinate with humanitarian operations to be carried out in the Oreshki region of Kherson Oblast. Russian Ambassador-at-Large Miroshnik stated on the 24th that it is currently "difficult to judge" whether this move will affect the progress of negotiations on the Ukraine issue. Miroshnik said on the Russian "Solovyov Live" channel that it is currently "difficult to judge" whether the Oreshki ceasefire will affect the political or military negotiations on the Ukraine issue, because these two levels of negotiations can be "conducted separately."
