A senior aide to President Vladimir Putin has rejected any temporary cease-fire with Ukraine just hours before a US delegation was expected to land in Russia for talks with Moscow where they will urge the Kremlin to agree to a 30-day cease-fire proposal or face sanctions.
No, but too many people were asking questions about Krasnov.
Negotiate a deal and have Russia reject it, then sanction Russia so the senators finally have at least one thing to point at and go ‘see! He’s tough on Russia! He can’t possibly be a Russian asset!’.

Possible, and harmless to Russia since Biden’s administration sanctioned pretty much everything they could already. I will not be surprised though if Trump announces he’s relaxing sanctions based on a promise from Putin to consider future negotiations.
