Putin's aide responded to proposals for freezing the conflict along the current front line

Russia is not considering the option of freezing the conflict in Ukraine along the current front line.

This was reported by Russian President Vladimir Putin's aide Yuri Ushakov in a conversation with "Vesti."

"You know our position, it rules this out," he said.

This was Ushakov's response to a question about proposals from countries to freeze the conflict between Russia and Ukraine solely along the line of contact.
