Russian President Vladimir Putin has not offered any concessions to end the war in Ukraine, and President Donald Trump has not requested any. The US has suggested that Ukraine may need to give up territory to Russia and abandon its NATO aspirations in order to achieve peace. Putin has called for a ceasefire that would require Ukraine to surrender control of the regions occupied by Russia and give up on NATO membership.
Some voices in Moscow have been critical of a potential ceasefire agreement, fearing that it would allow Ukraine to regroup and rearm. Russian ultranationalist philosopher Alexander Dugin believes that Putin will not accept a ceasefire without discussing the conditions of a solid peace.
US Senator Marco Rubio and National Security adviser Mike Waltz recently met with Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia, proposing a resumption of US aid and intelligence sharing to Ukraine in exchange for a 30-day ceasefire. It will be up to Moscow to accept or reject this offer. However, even if Putin agrees to the ceasefire, there is still a significant gap between Russia and Ukraine’s positions, with Ukraine seeking security guarantees before signing any agreement.
The situation remains complex, with uncertainty about whether a ceasefire can be achieved and what concessions may be necessary in order to end the conflict. Despite efforts to negotiate a temporary truce, the long-term resolution of the conflict remains uncertain.
