Summary
Putin rejected Trump’s proposal for a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine, instead demanding a halt to all foreign military aid, a condition Kyiv cannot accept.
Analysts see this as an unrealistic bid to weaken Ukraine. Trump secured only a limited agreement: Russia would stop bombing Ukraine’s energy infrastructure if Kyiv halted attacks on Russian refineries.
Meanwhile, Europe reaffirmed support for Ukraine. Talks will continue, but Russia appears intent on sidelining Ukraine and isolating the U.S. from its allies, raising concerns about its true motives.
That and pressure on the grid is easing as Ukraine heads into summer
But he wore a suit!
Putin made Trump wait 2 hours.
Then he contradicted what Trump announced. Then Russia bombed some infrastructure. Classic master.This whole thing happened right after Ukraine wrecked a Russian Oil plant on the 13th with a new long range missile they developed themselves.
So yeah it does look a lot like Trumps only interfering to protect Putins oil
And Russia already stopped bombing Ukrainian power plants because the only ones left are nuclear and even Putin is hesitant about causing Chernobyl 2.0. So the ceasefire wouldn’t affect Russian activities in any way whatsoever.
So this is some seriously weak negotiating from Diaper Don.
