Analysis
- Putin's implementation of a 30-day halt on attacks is a temporary measure that raises questions about genuine commitment to peace, particularly since military aid and the security of Ukrainian forces remain unresolved issues.
- The divergent statements from the U.S. and Russia after Trump's calls reflect a lack of clarity and consensus on ceasefire terms, with analysts highlighting the potential for increased Russian demands that complicate negotiations.
- Amidst ongoing attacks on civilian infrastructure, there is an urgent need for a unified international strategy to strengthen Ukraine’s defenses and ensure any proposed ceasefires prioritize civilian safety, while also putting pressure on Russia for concrete concessions.
