President Joe Biden was "reluctant to respond" when asked about Russian President Vladimir Putin ordering his armed forces to hold a 36-hour cease-fire in Ukraine to mark the Russian Orthodox Christmas holiday.

It was not immediately clear whether hostilities would actually be halted. Ukrainian officials have previously dismissed Russian peace moves as ploys to regroup and prepare for more attacks.

Mykhailo Podolyak, a top aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, appeared to dismiss the truce in a tweet: "RF (Russian Federation) must leave the occupied territories - only then will it have a "temporary truce". Keep hypocrisy to yourself."

President Joe Biden, asked about Putin’s cease fire, said he was "reluctant to respond to anything Putin says. ... I think he’s trying to find some oxygen.”
