Ukraine Agrees to U.S.-Proposed 30-Day Ceasefire as Peace Talks Begin

The interim ceasefire, contingent on Russian agreement, could restart stalled negotiations and resume U.S. military aid to Ukraine.

Ukraine has accepted a U.S.-proposed 30-day ceasefire, halting missile, drone, and bomb attacks across the frontline, pending Russian agreement.
The U.S. announced the immediate resumption of intelligence sharing and military aid to Ukraine following Kyiv's decision to support the ceasefire.
Humanitarian relief, including the exchange of prisoners and the return of forcibly transferred Ukrainian children, is a key focus of the ceasefire process.
Russia has yet to agree to the ceasefire, with officials emphasizing that any deal must align with Moscow's terms and battlefield realities.
U.S. and Ukrainian officials have also revived talks on a minerals deal to bolster Ukraine's economy and enhance its long-term security.
