After a week of pausing military assistance to Ukraine, the US has had a change of heart and is now proposing a 30-day ceasefire with Russia. The announcement comes after talks in Saudi Arabia, where Kiev expressed its support for the US proposal. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has stated that the ball is now in Russia’s court, and if Moscow rejects the proposal, it would be seen as the main obstacle to achieving peace. President Donald Trump has expressed optimism that Russia will agree to the ceasefire quickly.
The question on everyone’s mind now is how likely it is for Russia to agree to the US ceasefire proposal. With tensions running high between the two countries, it remains to be seen whether Moscow will see value in a temporary cessation of hostilities. The outcome of this proposal could have far-reaching implications for the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the broader geopolitical landscape.
As the world watches closely, all eyes are on the Kremlin to see how they will respond to the US offer. Will Russia seize this opportunity to de-escalate the situation, or will they continue down the path of conflict? Only time will tell. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
