Ukraine, US Propose 30-Day Ceasefire, Russia's Response Pending

Ukraine has agreed to a proposed 30-day ceasefire with Russia, a significant diplomatic breakthrough attributed to U.S. and UK efforts. The agreement, which is contingent on Russia's acceptance, aims to alleviate tensions and has prompted pressure on Moscow to respond positively. UK Treasury Minister James Murray and other officials have praised the collaborative negotiations led by U.S. and UK diplomats, highlighting the potential for further peace discussions. Meanwhile, Nigel Farage expressed optimism about the ceasefire, noting that the easing of pressure on Ukraine by the U.S. could signal a turning point in the conflict. The ceasefire discussions are part of broader U.S.-Russia talks aimed at establishing a long-term peace framework. The ball now lies in Russia’s court as international leaders push for a resolution to the ongoing war.
