Summary

Putin rejected Trump’s proposal for a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine, instead demanding a halt to all foreign military aid, a condition Kyiv cannot accept.

Analysts see this as an unrealistic bid to weaken Ukraine. Trump secured only a limited agreement: Russia would stop bombing Ukraine’s energy infrastructure if Kyiv halted attacks on Russian refineries.

Meanwhile, Europe reaffirmed support for Ukraine. Talks will continue, but Russia appears intent on sidelining Ukraine and isolating the U.S. from its allies, raising concerns about its true motives.

      You misunderstand: He wants Ukraine to stop hitting Russian oil infrastructure. It never applied the other way around.

        Hard to miss. Trump and JV Dunce have been all over television and social media raving about this breach in decorum, and how badly Putin disrespected the sanctity of the White House and office of the President. /s just kidding they did all that over Zelensky not wearing a suit and saying “what diplomacy do you mean?”
