Did Russia previously agree to this 30-day ceasefire? It’s a little annoying that the story doesn’t include that bit, as it’s essential to understand the implications of this news.
- ceejayoz 2y agoNo; this is the US and Ukraine proposing one. Russia seems likely to decline, but it apparently is enough to establish enough cover for Rubio to say we'll restart aid. We'll see if Trump torpedoes that in the next 24h or so.
- red-iron-pine 2y ago> We'll see if Trump torpedoes that in the next 24h or so. which he almost certainly will. really, the Russians just needed enough intelligence and asset coverage to launch a massive final blow against that Kursk salient that was almost surrounded. there are a lot of good Ukrainian troops there, and a ceasefire gives UKR the ability to pullout without losses. it's mostly grandstanding. and mostly matters not since Trump is doing everything he can to tank the US (and allied) economies.
