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.

    Putin made Trump wait 2 hours.
    Then he contradicted what Trump announced. Then Russia bombed some infrastructure. Classic master.

    This whole thing happened right after Ukraine wrecked a Russian Oil plant on the 13th with a new long range missile they developed themselves.

    So yeah it does look a lot like Trumps only interfering to protect Putins oil

      And Russia already stopped bombing Ukrainian power plants because the only ones left are nuclear and even Putin is hesitant about causing Chernobyl 2.0. So the ceasefire wouldn’t affect Russian activities in any way whatsoever.

      So this is some seriously weak negotiating from Diaper Don.

    Trying to weaken the west as much as possible for the benefit of himself?

      Do you think Trump is confused about that?

        He works off who he personally likes and dislikes. So if Putin embarrasses him, he won’t like him and then bingo bango.

    Isn’t putin just signalling internally that he’s aiming to end the war? In particular towards the financial institutions in Russia.
    I don’t think Putin truly wants to end the war, he’s just acting towards Russian institutions as if he’s trying to

      If history is any indication, the dude just wants to hit the pause button and make sure things aren’t stacked against him when he comes back for whatever is left of Ukraine.
