Ukraine Agrees To Ceasefire

It has just been announced that Ukrainian leadership has agreed to a 30 day ceasefire in the ongoing Russian invasion. The agreement was reached during talks between the US and Ukraine in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The Ukrainian acceptance is dependent on Russian acceptance of the ceasefire terms.

It has been a bit more than three years since Russia invaded Ukraine unprovoked.

As part of the ceasefire agreement, the US will restart intelligence sharing and weapons shipments to Ukraine. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz announced weapons shipments would restart immediately.

It also includes a ‘minerals deal’.

Keep in mind, this ceasefire is completely dependent on the concurrence of the aggressor, Russia. Whether or not Putin will accept this deal is unclear. Based on nearly all of his past comments and writings – and those of his proxies – it is very unlikely that he will accept the terms of this ceasefire.
