According to Mars Finance, on March 19, Russian President Putin rejected the request by U.S. President Trump for a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine, instead agreeing to limit attacks on the country's energy infrastructure while demanding that the U.S. and other countries stop supplying weapons and intelligence to Ukraine.
Putin's stance is far from the Trump administration's call for a comprehensive 30-day ceasefire to allow both sides to reach a long-term agreement. Russia's position will force Trump to make a difficult choice as he must decide whether to continue supplying weapons to Ukraine.
Although Putin rejected the ceasefire conditions, Trump stated on his social media that the conversation was 'very good and productive.' He said, 'We discussed many aspects of the (peace agreement),' and both Putin and Zelensky hope to see an agreement to end the conflict. Russia's position will force Trump to make a difficult choice as he must decide whether to continue supplying weapons to Ukraine. (Jinshi)
