“there is [US President Donald] Trump’s initiative [on a ceasefire], which he proposed and which we supported”
CORROBORATED
Multiple independent web search results confirm that Donald Trump proposed a ceasefire/peace initiative regarding the Russia-Ukraine war. Specifically, one source mentions a three-day ceasefire from May 9-11, and others discuss a broader peace proposal/plan. While the evidence doesn't explicitly quote the Kremlin's 'support' in a single sentence, the reports state the plan was 'widely seen as a capitulation to most of the Kremlin's demands,' implying alignment/support from the Russian side.
