U.S. Resumes Military Aid to Ukraine Amid Cease-Fire Talks
America lifts military pause to support Ukraine, as fresh diplomatic efforts unfold.
The United States has announced the resumption of military aid to Ukraine after extensive discussions in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The decision follows a series of negotiations during which Kyiv expressed support for a proposed 30-day cease-fire with Russia under the Trump administration.
In a joint declaration, U.S. and Ukrainian officials outlined that any cease-fire terms would be contingent upon Russia's acceptance. Furthermore, they committed to an expedited agreement to develop Ukraine’s vital mineral resources.
Russia has yet to respond to these developments as it was not represented during the talks. President Trump indicated that he may reach out to Vladimir Putin this week, expressing optimism about the possibility of securing a lasting cease-fire in the near future.
Following the meetings, Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized that the agreement now shifts the onus onto Russia. “The ball is now in their court,” he stated.
In related news, French President Emmanuel Macron convened military leaders from over 30 nations to explore the establishment of a multinational peacekeeping force to oversee any cease-fire agreement in Ukraine.
On the ground, Russia has intensified its operations by launching an assault on the town of Sudzha in the Kursk region, marking a significant moment as Moscow appears poised to conduct its first territorial invasion since World War II.
