Russia is responding to renewed U.S. calls to accept a month-long ceasefire in Ukraine.
The Kremlin says any deal would require a halt to Western military support to Kyiv.
NPR's Charles Mainz reports.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov made the comments in an interview with ABC This Week's Martha Raddatz.
If we do a temporary ceasefire...
You want the weapons stopped.
Otherwise, it will be an advantage for Ukraine.
Peskov said without a stoppage in weapons shipments to Ukraine,
Kiev could use the pause to rearm and replenish troops.
The spokesman insisted President Vladimir Putin continues to support a U.S.-backed peace settlement,
but would also maintain military operations until such a deal was in place.
Peskov's comments came as Kiev and Moscow each accused the other of violating a three-day Russian-declared ceasefire to mark the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany in World War II.
