  1. Ceasefire Talks Gain Momentum:
    • Trump has prioritized ending the war, proposing a 30-day temporary ceasefire that Ukraine has agreed to, but Moscow has yet to confirm.
    • The Kremlin stated there is a “certain understanding” between the two nations but acknowledged “a large number of questions remain.”
  2. Concerns Over Territorial Integrity:
    • Ukraine has firmly rejected any territorial compromises, with Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha stating, “We will never accept territorial losses or Russian-imposed conditions.”
    • The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, under Russian control since the early days of the war, remains a major point of contention in negotiations.
  3. Western Allies Express Concern Over Trump’s Approach:
    • Many US allies fear Trump’s deal-making strategy could favor Russia, with reports suggesting discussions on “dividing up certain assets” between Moscow and Kyiv.
    • Critics argue Trump’s temporary pause on military aid to Ukraine—which was later reinstated—shows a tilt towards Putin’s demands.
  4. Putin’s Optimism & US Skepticism:
    • The Kremlin’s envoy Kirill Dmitriev praised the Trump-Putin cooperation, calling the world a “much safer place today” as a result of the call.
    • However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that “Putin is only stalling to regroup and continue his aggression.”
  5. Next Steps in Diplomacy:
    • The White House hinted at an announcement on the ceasefire proposal as early as next week.
    • Russia has yet to confirm its acceptance of the 30-day truce, leaving uncertainty over de-escalation efforts.

As the world watches closely, the question remains: Is this a breakthrough toward peace, or just another delay in Ukraine’s fight for sovereignty?
