Ukraine Agrees to 30-Day Ceasefire as US Pushes for Russian Cooperation

The temporary ceasefire, brokered during U.S.-led talks in Saudi Arabia, hinges on Russia's acceptance while intelligence sharing and aid to Ukraine are set to resume.

Ukraine has accepted a U.S.-proposed 30-day ceasefire, which includes halting missile, drone, and bomb attacks along the entire frontline, pending Russia's agreement.
The U.S. will resume intelligence sharing and security assistance to Ukraine, which had been paused during earlier tensions between President Trump and President Zelenskyy.
Humanitarian measures, including the exchange of prisoners of war and the return of Ukrainian children forcibly taken to Russia, are central to the ceasefire agreement.
Russia's response remains uncertain, with its officials asserting that any agreement must align with Moscow's terms, even as airstrikes on Kyiv and Kharkiv continued following Ukraine's announcement.
The deal also includes plans to finalize a U.S.-Ukraine partnership on developing critical mineral resources, seen as a step toward Ukraine's economic recovery and long-term security.
