Russian President Vladimir Putin, following his recent call with U.S. President Donald Trump, has refused to implement a full ceasefire in Ukraine, agreeing to end attacks only on the country’s energy infrastructure.
Despite Trump’s team negotiating with Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia and presenting a comprehensive month-long ceasefire, Putin declined to fully commit, insisting that any broader agreement could only be possible if Ukraine stopped receiving foreign military aid and intelligence services.
Ukraine’s European allies have dismissed such demands in the past, reiterating their continued support and assistance. Putin’s refusal hints at the current obstacles in diplomatic resolution as the war continues.
