Trump's Ukraine Ceasefire Push Awaits Putin's Critical Response
U.S. President Donald Trump has proposed a 30-day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, with Ukraine already accepting the terms while Russia's response remains pending. The initiative aims to pause hostilities and create space for peace negotiations.
The ceasefire proposal, emerging from U.S.-Ukrainian talks in Saudi Arabia, includes several key provisions:
- Prisoner of war exchanges
- Return of Ukrainian children taken to Russia
- Economic cooperation between Ukraine and U.S. on mineral resources

Pro-war factions in Moscow have expressed resistance to the ceasefire, viewing it as contradictory to Russia's war objectives. However, international pressure continues to mount for a diplomatic resolution.
Key developments to watch:
- Putin's forthcoming decision on the ceasefire
- Upcoming U.S.-Russia negotiations
- Ukraine's commitment to continue fighting if Russia rejects terms
- Potential impact on global diplomatic relations
The success of this initiative depends largely on Russia's willingness to engage with the proposed terms, potentially marking either a significant turning point or further escalation in the conflict.
