US set to present 30-day ceasefire offer to Russia 12 March 2025
Ukraine has said it is ready to accept an immediate 30-day ceasefire with Russia proposed by the US, after a day of US-Ukraine talks in Saudi Arabia.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he would present the offer to Russia and that "the ball is in their court" - Moscow is yet to publicly comment on the issue.

So bold are Putin’s ceasefire demands, it’s hard to believe he is entirely serious March 18, 2025
Donald Trump began his conversation with Vladimir Putin with a simple demand: a 30-day ceasefire on land, sea and air which Ukraine has already signed up to, as an initial measure on which to build towards a peace.
Instead, what the US president got from Putin were questions, half-offers and limited concessions – and, above all, an extraordinary demand from the Russian leader to weaken Ukraine that would make a mockery of any peace agreement.
The “key condition” for resolving the conflict, the Kremlin said in a statement after the call, should be “the complete cessation of foreign military aid and the provision of intelligence information to Kyiv”.
That means halting military support not just from the US but from all Ukraine’s foreign backers, including Britain, France and all those putting together plans for a post-conflict “reassurance force” intended to provide a long-term security guarantee to Kyiv, allowing it to open its ports and airports, and safeguard utility supplies.

What a hoot!
Trump had halted Weapon Shipments to YouCraynee.
Trump restarted Weapon Shipments ONLY AFTER YouCraynee
said that they agreed to a Ceasefire.
It was a lie from Zelensky.
