Summary

Putin rejected Trump’s proposal for a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine, instead demanding a halt to all foreign military aid, a condition Kyiv cannot accept.

Analysts see this as an unrealistic bid to weaken Ukraine. Trump secured only a limited agreement: Russia would stop bombing Ukraine’s energy infrastructure if Kyiv halted attacks on Russian refineries.

Meanwhile, Europe reaffirmed support for Ukraine. Talks will continue, but Russia appears intent on sidelining Ukraine and isolating the U.S. from its allies, raising concerns about its true motives.

    This whole thing happened right after Ukraine wrecked a Russian Oil plant on the 13th with a new long range missile they developed themselves.

    So yeah it does look a lot like Trumps only interfering to protect Putins oil

      And Russia already stopped bombing Ukrainian power plants because the only ones left are nuclear and even Putin is hesitant about causing Chernobyl 2.0. So the ceasefire wouldn’t affect Russian activities in any way whatsoever.

      So this is some seriously weak negotiating from Diaper Don.

      This shows that Trump is nothing more than a simp, not that Putin is any kind of master.

      You misunderstand: He wants Ukraine to stop hitting Russian oil infrastructure. It never applied the other way around.

        Hard to miss. Trump and JV Dunce have been all over television and social media raving about this breach in decorum, and how badly Putin disrespected the sanctity of the White House and office of the President. /s just kidding they did all that over Zelensky not wearing a suit and saying “what diplomacy do you mean?”

    Trying to weaken the west as much as possible for the benefit of himself?

        He works off who he personally likes and dislikes. So if Putin embarrasses him, he won’t like him and then bingo bango.

    Isn’t putin just signalling internally that he’s aiming to end the war? In particular towards the financial institutions in Russia.
    I don’t think Putin truly wants to end the war, he’s just acting towards Russian institutions as if he’s trying to
