The United States is actively urging Russia to agree to an unconditional 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine, following recent diplomatic efforts. This initiative emerged from extensive talks between U.S. and Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia, leading to Ukraine’s acceptance of the proposed truce. The ceasefire aims to halt all military actions along the entire front line, extending beyond Ukraine’s initial proposal for a limited truce.
In response to Ukraine’s agreement, the U.S. has resumed military aid and intelligence sharing with Kyiv, which had been previously paused. President Donald Trump expressed optimism that Russia would consent to the ceasefire and indicated plans to discuss the matter directly with President Vladimir Putin.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized that the cessation of hostilities is essential for meaningful negotiations, underscoring the U.S. commitment to facilitating peace talks between Kyiv and Moscow.
European leaders have welcomed these developments as a positive step toward lasting peace and have expressed readiness to support further negotiations.
