Ukraine and Russia agree to 30-day ceasefire proposal

Ukraine has agreed to a 30-day ceasefire proposal with Russia, marking a significant development in the ongoing conflict. However, both sides still have major differences regarding terms, particularly around territorial concessions and security guarantees. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy outlined key demands during a recent meeting, including an end to aerial attacks, safe shipping routes, and the release of prisoners. While the specifics of the ceasefire proposal remain unclear, discussions about territorial concessions have emerged. The U.S. is facilitating negotiations, but analysts suggest that Russia may hesitate to accept the proposal quickly. Ongoing military actions and the need for both sides to make concessions complicate the path to a lasting peace agreement.
