- Ukraine expressed “its willingness” to accept a 30 -day US ceasefire suggestion with Russia.
- The United States will resume the flow of weapons and intelligence to Ukraine.
- The next challenge to the Trump administration is to make Russia compatible.
Kiev, Ukraine-CIH is open to a ceasefire with Moscow, but this is only half the equation. The Trump administration must make Russia stop attacking Ukraine.
Kiev and Washington said in a joint statement on Tuesday that Ukraine indicated that it was ready to accept an American immediate shooting suggestion for 30 days with Russia. It creates a new opening in an attempt to end the brutal war for three years. The United States said it will immediately resume military aid shipments and intelligence participation with Ukraine, according to the joint statement of both delegations.
The next step – Russian President Vladimir Putin made stop his missile decrease and attacks on Ukraine – is very difficult.
Ukraine continues to see Russian attacks. “Mykhailo Podolyak, Ukrainian presidential advisor, told Business Insider” mykhailo podolyak, Ukrainian presidential advisor, for Business Insider last week “Mykhailo last week” Podolyak, Ukrainian presidential advisor, for Business Insider last week, “Russia does not stop its attacks; It continues missile strikes on civilians and critical infrastructure. “” Russia does not stop and will not stop. “
Russia attacked Ukrainian cities, including Kiev, with missiles and drones throughout the conflict. Last week, President Donald Trump Moscow threatened With penalties and definitions if they did not reach the ceasefire, but the strikes continued even after direct talks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in February.
Russia attacked Ukraine overnight last Thursday with 67 missiles and about 200 drones, one of its largest strikes in the entire war.

At that time, Dara Maskot, an expert in the Russian army, said with the Carnegie gift to Russia and the International Peace Program, that any potential islands of the islands were offered to the Russians in Riyadh “were not enough to cause the Kremlin to stop to OPS.”
She added that Moscow does not care if it embarrassed the United States.
War experts have witnessed a few signs that Moscow is ready to end its war in Ukraine. Conflict analysts at the Institute of War Research Study in Washington indicated last week that Putin and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs refused to stop the shooting.
“We will now take this offer to the Russians, and we hope to say yes, they will say yes to peace,” Foreign Minister Marco Rubio said on Tuesday. “The ball is now in their stadium.”
Russian officials have recently settled the demands that they are likely to be unwilling with Ukraine: more Russia’s unworthy lands, and narrow hats that would reduce the Ukraine army into a small part of their current size, and there are no European forces to monitor that Ukraine to maintain peace.
Ukrainians and their international partners are worried that Russia will use the ceasefire to rebuild its troubled forces and to replace Ukraine in the coming years in the resonance of the 2015 deal that failed to end the regional aggression of Russia in eastern Ukraine.
The largest factor that led to the change of Ukraine in the ceasefire talks was Trump’s willingness to publicly separate with Ukraine and temporarily meet its partner for a long time of military support that is needed with the pressure on huge concessions to the natural resources of Ukraine.

After a meeting of the White House of Conflict with Ukrainian President Voludeimir Zelinski at the end of February, the Trump administration closed the flow of security assistance to Ukraine last week and followed this step immediately by reducing intelligence participation with Kiev and reducing access to decisive satellite images.
In this meeting, Zelinski noticed the failure of the past and expressed fears that Putin would not adhere to the ceasefire deal. However, Trump said last week he believed Putin really wanted to end the war.
Tuesday’s announcement comes shortly after the American and Ukrainian delegations met in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for high -risk peace talks.
The diplomats agreed to “immediately start negotiations towards a permanent peace stipulating the long -term security of Ukraine,” the statement said.
The United States will then discuss details with Russia. Ukraine emphasized the need to involve European partners in the peace process; Trump has so far resisted any security guarantees to Ukraine as part of the ceasefire deal, saying it would be the problem of Europe in knowing this.
A statement said on Tuesday that the United States and Ukraine were about to sign a rare ground mineral agreement that was to be signed by the two countries last month.
