Overview

  • President Trump will speak with President Putin on Tuesday to negotiate a potential 30-day ceasefire and broader peace agreement in Ukraine.
  • Ukraine has agreed to the proposed ceasefire, but Russia has yet to formally accept, citing conditions including territorial concessions and guarantees against Ukraine joining NATO.
  • Discussions are expected to focus on dividing control of strategic assets, such as the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, and resolving territorial disputes in eastern and southern Ukraine.
  • Russian forces have intensified attacks, including drone and missile strikes, while Ukraine has retreated from the Kursk region, losing a key bargaining position.
  • Western allies, including Britain and France, are preparing peacekeeping plans in anticipation of a ceasefire, though skepticism remains about Russia's commitment to peace.
