Belgian Defense Minister Theo Francken explains the EU plan behind any temporary ceasefire:

“The moment there is a ceasefire the coalition of the willing can operate on Ukrainian soil” — Belgian Defense Minister Theo Francken says France, Uk, Belgium and others will move in troops into Ukraine instantly when the fighting stops. Russia cannot agree to a ceasefire because of that."

Thune: Senate Ready to Equip Trump in Ukraine Peace Talks
“If Russia is not willing to engage in serious diplomacy, the Senate will work with the Trump administration to consider additional sanctions to force Putin to start negotiating.”

May 22, 2025

WASHINGTON — U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) today delivered the following remarks on the Senate floor:

Thune’s remarks below (as delivered):

“For the last four months, President Trump has gone to extraordinary lengths to bring an end to the bloodshed in Ukraine, and we here in the Senate commend him for those efforts.

“Now the ball is in Putin’s court.

“It’s time for him to come to the table in good faith and make a serious proposal for an immediate ceasefire that can lead to a just and lasting peace in Ukraine.

“I hope he realizes it’s time to do so.

“If not, the Senate stands ready to act.

“Thanks to the dogged work of Senator Graham, we have bipartisan legislation – cosponsored by 80 of my colleagues – to impose additional economic sanctions and tariffs on Russia.

“If Russia is not willing to engage in serious diplomacy, the Senate will work with the Trump administration to consider additional sanctions to force Putin to start negotiating.”

he minute there is a ceasefire that is exactly the point. Brits, Poles, Germans, French etc will flood into Ukraine and embed right with the Ukes as “peacekeepers”. Logistics will flow and refit, repair and rest will begin. We will flood in every missile and drone we can. F-16s will swarm into Ukrainian bases and start no-fly “peacekeeping” patrols.

And the Ukes SBU and other groups will continue their waves of assassinations, terror bombings, infrastructure attacks etc. They can do so in confidence that Russia cannot make a move without engaging NATO forces.

But Russia plays Chess, not Checkers. They see this 30 day cease-fire scam coming a mile away.
