U.S. supporting Ukraine's push for a full and complete truce, as stated by Deputy Spokeswoman Minyon Houston on an Estonian TV channel.
The United States has called for an immediate and complete ceasefire in Ukraine, setting a firm deadline for Russia to agree to the truce. According to the U.S. State Department Deputy Spokeswoman, Minyon Houston, this ceasefire is crucial for any further diplomatic dialogue.
Houston made her statement on Estonian TV channel Postimees, emphasizing the U.S.'s stance on the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. She urged Russia to agree to the ceasefire, stating that failure to do so would result in sweeping sanctions. As of late July 2025, the deadline for Russia to comply is less than two weeks from July 29.
The U.S. is not specifying any timeline for the cease-fire, but is hoping for a swift resolution to the conflict. The negotiations, though not directly involving the U.S., are ongoing, according to Houston's statement. The location of these negotiations is not specified.
The U.S. is not alone in its efforts. Both the Russian and Ukrainian sides are encouraged to continue negotiations, with the aim of finding a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The U.S. continues to advocate for long-term, lasting, sustainable peace in the region, and is standing with Ukraine.
The negotiations are expected to lead to a cease-fire, much like the one that was agreed upon in Istanbul. However, the details of this potential cease-fire are not yet clear. The U.S. is hopeful about the outcome of these ongoing negotiations, and is prepared to escalate economic or political pressure if necessary to achieve a peaceful resolution.
The U.S. is emphasizing the need for a sustainable solution to the conflict in Ukraine, as opposed to a temporary resolution that could lead to further conflict in the future. This stance underscores the U.S.'s commitment to finding a comprehensive and complete resolution to the crisis in Ukraine.
