Ukraine-Russia ceasefire proposal
Ukraine agreed to a US proposal for an immediate 30-day ceasefire during high-stakes talks in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Tuesday, leading to a resumption of military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine
But despite the ceasefire proposal, Russia launched air attacks on Kyiv and Kharkiv shortly after Ukraine’s declaration, leading to air raid alerts across ten regions
Trump has made it clear that future assistance to Ukraine will come with strings attached
The White House has conditioned continued support on Kyiv’s agreement to a bilateral mineral resources deal, which Ukraine has so far resisted due to the lack of security guarantees in the agreement
Instead, the US has pushed Ukraine to accept territorial concessions and other demands made by Moscow
This approach contrasts sharply with the White House’s stance toward Israel, where aid flows with minimal conditions and on an expedited timeline
