Why would Russia agree to a 30-day ceasefire? Especially, when US resumes military support of Ukraine. Their position would weaken. There needs to exist either a very big carrot or a very big stick to induce Russia to agree.
So that they can rearm and mobilize? There is absolutely no time to rest in this war, trust me.
Any media or analysts that believe this got them anywhere are delusional. The devil is in the details, and the US will come back without any concessions from Russia. Even the US know this. But their plan is to come back to Ukraine and pressure them into signing anything, so that Trump can say he did something amazing deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize. I'm not joking.
Ukraine, I'm sure, knows how this will play out, and can now plan for 30 days. Russia will put out false flags constantly during this 30 day period, and this result in US and Trump never getting a peace prize.
Russia has the momentum, Kursk is almost reclaimed, why would they say yes to Ukraine getting 30 days to build up a force for an assault the moment the ceasefire ends? Ukraine agreeing to a ceasefire that is one sided is not about peace. Its about illusions.
Why a 30-day ceasefire not a permanent end. What happens after 30-days especially when the US and EU will continue taking weapons to Ukraine? I dont think Russia is dumb 🤔.
Trump is playing with an on/off switch:
hmmm … wonder what this does … ?
… and if i turn it off again ??
Putin bots seem very upset. I thought Russia wanted peace, so they said. Could Russia lie?
ceasefire for 30 days in return for US weapons? Russia will never agree to this
Russia already has said it will never accept any truce. Either Ukraine accept to sign a capitulation to put an end of the war, or war will continue
Good play Zelensky!!! Put it all back on Trump’s arse 🎉
US proposal for 30 days only for US to start rearming Ukraine unhindered for days move all the heavy equipment to Ukraine unhindered then after 30 days nothing is stated by then Ukraine will be armed to the teeth like what happen in 2022 Turkey agreement Nato, US, Ukraine break that agreement
So that Ukraine will rearm
Art of the deal.
Thats despicable what Trump administration did. Its like 'youve been humble so you are getting back the tools to protect yourself'. Victim is blamed for attack
Put up an iron curtin. Putin proved he can't be trusted over and over again.
Kudos to Trump ❤
Hey Europe this is what real Leadership look like, you can learn a thing or two from him.
No cease fire
Im thinking might be interesting to see if Russia agrees cause if not US might be forced to continue aid due to this important decision
😂😂😂 Europe becomes the joker
Part of those terms need to be that there will be American troops in Ukrainian to ensure that the Russia and helping Ukraine by stepping up military strength to prevent Russia from invading again. Russia is known for breaking promises and whats to stop them from invading Ukraine again.
Very good, Ukraine has understood how manipulable Trump is. Now we will see how Russia reacts to the "ceasefire“ and what Trump will say to Putin when he sabotages his Nobel Peace Prize.
Russian authorities are only accountable to the opinion of the Russian people. Russia will continue to do everything for its security.
Russia can't accept this until it liberate Kusk completely. When you see Ukraine and west accepted it quickly, why will Russia accept it? If its good for the west, why will it be good for Russia? Just think about it
Well, how’s long is this support going to last!!! Wax on wax off.
No way Russia is going to agree to another Minsk!
Ukraine is on the worst situation, Russia should not accept proposal, must keep fighting
“30 days”
Useless proposal
Amarican wants to outsmart Russia again
First step for instant
surrender 😂,,
Zelensky is not ready for peace!
I’m sure Russia will rush into a ceasefire deal just after Kyiv attacked Moscow with drones.
America has put its boot on the Russian throat with the sanctions we have on them currently. It is less than half of the weight that can be applied if they don't stop the fighting and killing. Make no mistake, their is exactly one country in the world that can do that, America! The question is what should we do with the European countries that continue to buy Russian energy? Hmm…make them pay for their own security??
Russia: Any ceasefire will result in the west just rearming Ukraine so we will not agree to that but only a long term peace that takes into account the root causes of the conflict.
U.S: Now that Ukraine has agreed to a ceasefire , we will restart the arms and intelligence sharing with Ukraine.
Russia : 💀💀
“Russia is almost out of ammo. Any days now.”
That aged so well🤣🤣🤣
VZ finally did one thing right that puts him in a far better position with DT and admin, wise move. Now it's RUS's turn and hope they dont think they can drag their feet on this and present this admin as court jesters here and abroad because that wont end well for VP.
Trump: – The trap is set, the bait is on Russia's doorstep……hopefully they take it…..
Russia was betrayed in April 2022, Istanbul peace deal. Ukraine agreed to not join NATO if Russia withraw the 60 miles convoy from the North of Kiev. Once Russia withdrew, Kiev betrayed the deal 😢
You realize that the driving motivation for Ukraine to "accept" the Ceasefire was based on the fact that the Russian army collapsed the Ukrainian Forces in Kursk, right?
A military maneuver that will be historic in its success.
Something the Western Media isnt talking about either.
In actual reality, the Propaganda Machine is in full force to diminish these overwhelming events for Ukraine.
Controlling Kursk was intented to be a bargaining chip for land mass swaps.
That is officially gone.
Ukraine has nothing to bargin with land mass wise, so they are the ones in need of the Ceasefire.
To make matters worse, what motivation does Russia have for a ceasefire, considering that Minsk 1 and Minsk 2 Accords were drafted so Ukraine coukd prep and arm itself (Merkel), while attacking ethnic Russians in the Donbas?
If anything, Ukraine (Western NeoCONservatives in Reality) will have to put even MORE on the table for the Russians to "take the bait"….
All the US cares about is profiting off the deaths of Ukranians and to appease their Russian masters. Sick and vile government.
What happened trump? You wanna blame ukraine for the war you wanna instigate zelensky but now you see you can't even get russia to accept? Where's your attitude now? You only big enough to step on the toes of victims huh? Get out of our office since your going to be backwords as hell
