The United States says Ukraine has agreed to its proposal for a 30-day ceasefire with Russia following three years of war.
The announcement followed peace talks in Saudi Arabia, where Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy travelled on March 10, and is a remarkable turn of events. The ball is now in Russia’s court in terms of whether it accepts the ceasefire proposal.
Zelenskyy’s recent shouting match with U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice-President JD Vance in the White House, at a surface level, could not have gone much worse from the Ukrainian leader’s perspective. Both Trump and Vance subjected Zelenskyy to scathing attacks before their meeting abruptly ended.
