Golden Finance reported that despite Russia's firm continuation of its military operations, the Kremlin is weighing concessions to U.S. President Trump, which may include reaching an aerial ceasefire agreement with Ukraine in an attempt to avoid secondary sanctions. Informed sources say that although expectations for a successful agreement are low, U.S. Middle East envoy Wittekov's visit to Russia this week is seen by the Russian side as one of the last opportunities to reach an agreement with Trump. One informed source stated that a pause in air strikes, including drones and missiles, could be a potential proposal to de-escalate the situation, provided that Ukraine also participates in the signing. However, Russian President Putin will not agree to a comprehensive ceasefire agreement in Ukraine because the Russian military is still steadily advancing on the battlefield, and Russia's objectives remain unchanged.
