The 30-day truce will come into effect if Russia signs up to the same terms, according to a joint statement from the Ukrainian and American governments.”<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
“Trump\u2019s team say they will now take the plan for a 30-day ceasefire to Moscow. \u201cThe ball is now in their court,\u201d said Rubio. Russia has been delighted by Trump\u2019s attitude so far, and the ceasefire does not impose any pre-conditions on the Kremlin, as far as is known, other than a pause in the fighting.<\/p>\n
Under the outline ceasefire plan, the pause in the fighting would allow humanitarian steps, including the exchange of prisoners of war, the release of detained civilians \u201cand the return of forcibly transferred Ukrainian children,\u201d the joint statement said.” <\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
“After taking the radical step of cutting off the supply of military kit and intelligence to Kyiv, the U.S. has now agreed to resume sharing its secret information. It will also restart \u201csecurity assistance.\u201d”<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
“The terms of the proposal are for a temporary truce that can be extended if both sides agree. Once fighting is paused, negotiations will begin immediately on the terms of a permanent peace. Both the U.S. and Ukraine have promised to name their negotiating teams as soon as possible.”<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
“Ahead of the talks, Rubio warned Kyiv that it would need to make concessions, including on territory. But during the eight hours of discussions in Jeddah on Tuesday, the topic of ceding territory did not even come up, according to a Ukrainian official. The point is certain to be brought up, however, if substantive negotiations begin on a permanent settlement.”<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
“The U.S. president has made clear that he is not inclined to guarantee \u201cvery much\u201d by way of Ukraine\u2019s future security, seeing this as a job for Europe, not America. Nothing in Tuesday\u2019s joint statement suggests that has changed.”<\/p>\n
