Donald Trump Urges Unconditional Ceasefire in Ukraine: What's the Latest?
U.S. President Trump to Implement 30-Day Ceasefire in Ukraine, Ready to Impose Sanctions if Necessary. - Trump Announces 30-Day Ceasefire in Ukraine, Threatens Sanctions if Peace Not Maintained
In a recent phone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, US President Donald Trump suggested a 30-day unconditional ceasefire in Ukraine. Zelensky announced the proposal via online services, stating that Ukraine is prepared for this truce, starting today. But, he emphasized that Russia must first demonstrate its genuine intent to end the war for negotiations to commence.
Trump has voiced his preference for a long-lasting peace between the two nations. He noted, "A lasting peace can happen swiftly, and I stand ready to mediate if needed. Let's hope this temporary ceasefire holds, and both parties adhere to respecting the sanctity of these talks."
However, Trump's attempts to mediate peace between Ukraine and Russia have been met with criticism and skepticism. Some question his ability to broker a fair agreement, given his past associations and perceived partiality towards Russia[2].
In response to non-compliance with the ceasefire, Trump has threatened to impose further sanctions on both nations. "If the truce is breached, the US and its allies will enact additional sanctions," he wrote on Truth Social, targeting Russia[1].
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has cautioned that the US may withdraw its efforts to resolve the Ukraine conflict unless progress is made.
Ukraine has been fighting against Russian invasion for over three years. Kyiv's chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, emphasized on Telegram that a complete and unconditional cessation of hostilities must serve as the initial step towards achieving a just and lasting peace[1].
Although Russia has yet to respond to the ceasefire proposal, the European Union has shown support for the temporary truce, suggesting that it could pave the way for meaningful peace negotiations[3].
