I thought Ukraine and the US were not firing against each other /s
a ceasefire agreement without including the Russians, why would they agree?
It sounds more like agreed in principle, and would only come into effect if/when Russia agrees.
I also want to say, it had something to do with Marco Rubio going on his own and leaving that chubby clown JD Vance at home. Any other day, I’d say Rubio sucks, but I do suspect he’d rather not see America pull a 180 on its commitments to its allies.
Ultimately, the ceasefire deal may or may not happen. I doubt Russia will really agree to it, but it does put some pressure on them. But, it’s providing cover for the bigger story here — the US is continuing aid to Ukraine.
That’s the rub: Russia WILL and DID refuse.
It was an easy optics play to make a deal that everyone knew would never go thru to make the illusion that there is a positive member among the cadre of assholes.

Does GB need a cookie? Why do they toot their own horn?
Edit: Does it not feel out of character to you? There is no ceasefire agreement, just an agreement to participate in negotiations. I would assume that to a British prime minister, that’s not worth mentioning and when the BBC writes it like this, that it is a subtle putdown.
I agree, quite a bit of patting on the back.
They want you to feel like mommy still believes in you, even if you moved out like 300 years ago
