Putin's HEAVY Conditions on CeaseFire

President Donald Trump is actively working to broker a ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war, pushing both Ukraine and Russia to agree to a 30-day total ceasefire. Ukraine, which had previously resisted, has now agreed, but Russia remains hesitant, setting conditions and raising concerns over enforcement and verification.

Trump has engaged in direct discussions with Vladimir Putin and emphasized the humanitarian crisis, particularly focusing on Ukrainian troops trapped by Russian forces. He has publicly urged Putin to spare their lives, and in response, Russian officials stated they would guarantee the safety of surrendering Ukrainian troops but warned of severe consequences if they resisted.

Russia's reluctance stems from past ceasefire violations, particularly from the 2015 Minsk Agreements, and their demand for clear enforcement mechanisms. Russia also firmly opposes any NATO-backed peacekeeping forces in Ukraine, insisting that any monitoring must come from a neutral party.

While Trump remains hopeful that a ceasefire will be reached, challenges persist, including Russia's strategic leverage in the war and their unwillingness to accept certain conditions. Trump appears to be exploring ways to incentivize Russia into agreement while avoiding concessions that might make the U.S. or Ukraine appear weak.

The broader implication is that Trump's diplomatic efforts are gaining some traction, but significant hurdles remain, with Russia maintaining a strong negotiating position and dictating terms that may not be acceptable to Ukraine or the West.

The war is winnable just not by Ukraine.

Correction this pro Ukraine language only began at the USA assuming control in 2014. The Odessa mass killing by burning alive were Russian speakers signing petition to protect Ukrainian Russian language speakers.

There will be NO ceasefire. Putin’s words were very clear if Russian diplomacy tactics (not US, EU) is understood. What Putin was saying is NO Minsk 3.

The fact that Tulsi didn't hire this man it's evidence she's not free to choose for herself and that AIPAC chose for her. Better for you, Colonel.

If Trump cares about human lives, why is he supplying as and intelligence to Zelensky, encouraging him to continue the war?

[ramana]

It's wrong to think of Trump as some kind of compassionate peace maker. Just think "Israel".

The objectives were stated at the very start. Demilitarization and denazification. Nothing new here.

Putin already answered a to Trump asking about saving lives. He said that all AFU soldiers need to do is to surrender, they will save their life. But… Zelensky has to give his soldiers an order. Ha-ha, very smart answer.

I support Colonel Daniel from the attacks of dishonest, corrupt politicians bought by a foreign state. Colonel Daniel is an honest patriot, an intelligent, experienced professional, and no one has the right to tell him how to behave or what to say.He deserves our support and he should have a lot more followers than he currently has. I want to say that you are a courageous person and keep doing what you always do.

Zelenskyy and his Team are Number ONE Obstacle to Achieving PEACE in Negotiations. THEY MUST GO!👎🏻

[sherrysnyder]

What’s heavy about it? Russia has been saying this for a long time

[jwg]

Russia is not so easily fooled and has every common sense right to request more concrete details and guarantees.
