Ukraine Agrees to U.S.-Brokered Ceasefire Proposal as Russia's Response Remains Uncertain

The 30-day ceasefire plan, accepted by Ukraine, hinges on Moscow's agreement, with ongoing U.S. efforts to mediate peace talks.

Ukraine has accepted a U.S.-proposed 30-day ceasefire to halt fighting along the 1,800-mile front line, contingent on Russia's approval.
The ceasefire proposal follows U.S.-Ukraine talks in Saudi Arabia, where the U.S. resumed military aid and intelligence sharing with Kyiv.
Russian officials have expressed skepticism about the plan, citing their current military advances and concerns about potential Western rearmament of Ukraine.
President Trump plans to engage directly with President Putin to advocate for the ceasefire, while U.S. officials continue diplomatic efforts in Moscow.
Despite the ceasefire discussions, heavy fighting persists across Ukraine, with both sides launching drone and missile strikes overnight.
