I’m not an idealist—I don’t expect this truce to succeed on the first attempt. Violations, renewed fighting, setbacks, and black swans are likely to occur. Yet, the process has begun. Just six months ago, voicing a desire for peace risked condemnation; today, we’re discussing specifics

Despite these complexities, many in Ukraine cling to the hope that this nightmare can be halted. As many, I am firmly convinced that only an immediate ceasefire offers a chance to preserve us as a nation and a state.👇

Skepticism surrounds truce efforts amid uncertainties: Kremlin’s agenda, zero trust between nations, Ukraine’s exhaustion, and China’s reaction to a US-Russia thaw cloud the political landscape. 👇

It’s evident that the West is seeking a compromise with Putin, though it remains steadfast in pursuing its own terms 🤝. The West has even identified individuals within Ukrainian politics who could sign the initial ceasefire agreement. 👇

However, many nations are reluctant to send their troops to Ukraine, and it remains unclear how this issue will be resolved. Should peacekeepers be deployed, they would initially be stationed in Kyiv, Lviv, or Odesa—far from the front lines.👇

These include not only crafting a roadmap to monitor the 1,300-kilometer (807-mile) line of contact but also exploring the potential reconnection of a portion of the ZNPP to Ukraine’s grid. For the European Union, the focus is on deploying peacekeeping contingents. 👇

The president emphasized that the Kursk operation also stabilized the situation on the Pokrovsk front, making it "very difficult" for the enemy to find an opportunity to reoccupy Pokrovsk.

First, it relieved pressure on the Kharkiv front, and then they began withdrawing their troops from the eastern direction," the president said. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's remarks during a meeting with journalists.

As you can see, Russia is repeating the same thing as Ukraine and our supporters. Ushakov is one of Putin's closest confidants in charge of international affairs.
