Ukraine willing to accept 30-day ceasefire with Russia as U.S. lifts freeze on aid and intelligence
Pretty sure there isn't any intelligence left in the us lol
Zelensky is making a big mistake by catering to Trump. I know he doesn't have much choice, but I totally see Trump prepping to help with a Ukraine-government takeover by a Russian asset before long.
I'd bet that Ukraine is banking on Russia not agreeing to the ceasefire. This way they can utilize the US support a little longer while also shopping for alternatives. The US will not be a reliable partner in any case, but it might still be enough to hold on for now.
Even then do you trust trump to actually give aid or intelligence? I'm sure he'll say yeah I'll give it to you, but he'll never deliver. Still it's about the only play Ukraine. No real downside if Trump agrees and ends up following through.
Maybe. Russia currently has the upper hand sadly, but if Zelenskyy trades 30 day pause (appearance of victory for Trump and a short reprieve for UKR) for resuming intel sharing and some US aid that may be a net win for UKR. Really depends on what comes along with the deal - what has UKR agreed to give up to get this ceasefire?
This might be a Trojan Horse 2.0 situation.
