Ukraine accused Russia on Wednesday of effectively rejecting a US-backed ceasefire proposal.
: Ukraine accused Russia on Wednesday of effectively rejecting a US-backed ceasefire proposal, reporting a barrage of strikes hours after Moscow agreed to temporarily pause attacks on energy facilities.
While the highly anticipated call did not secure the breakthrough ceasefire endorsed by Ukraine last week, it did result in a scaled-back commitment to halt attacks on energy infrastructure for 30 days. But the Russian government said a fuller truce was dependent on its long-standing demands for a “complete cessation” of Western military and intelligence support to Ukraine’s military.Just hours after Trump and Putin spoke, explosions rang out and air raid sirens wailed in Ukraine.
“I don’t believe Putin at all, not a single word. He only understands force,“ said Lev Sholoudko, 32. In a televised interview after the Trump-Putin call, US envoy Steve Witkoff said ceasefire talks would pick up again Sunday in Jeddah.
