Ukraine rejects Putin's call for 36-hour truce, calling it 'hypocrisy'

KYIV, Ukraine (Reuters) -- Ukraine spurned an offer from Russian President Vladimir Putin for a 36-hour cease-fire over Orthodox Christmas, saying there would be no truce until Russia withdraws its invading forces from occupied land. The Kremlin said Putin had ordered a cease-fire from midday on Friday after a call for a Christmas truce from Patriarch Kirill of Moscow, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church. But Ukrainian presidential adviser Mikhailo Podolyak tweeted back that Russia "must leave the occupied territories -- only then will it have a 'temporary truce'. He said that unlike Russia, Ukraine was not attacking foreign territory or killing civilians, only destroying "members of the occupation army on its territory." He described the Russian Orthodox Church, which has endorsed the invasion, as a "war propagandist" that had incited the "mass murder" of Ukrainians and the militarization of Russia.
