Putin Signals Ceasefire Talks, But War in Ukraine Rages On

Russian President Vladimir Putin has expressed tentative support for a ceasefire in Ukraine but insists on multiple conditions, signaling that peace is still far off. Meanwhile, Russia continues its deadly drone strikes on Ukrainian territory, even after President Volodymyr Zelensky agreed to a U.S.-backed ceasefire proposal. Former U.S. President Donald Trump has called Putin’s remarks 'promising but not complete' and has expressed interest in meeting him for negotiations. The situation remains fluid, with ongoing diplomatic efforts clashing against continued military aggression. The future of detainees caught in the geopolitical crossfire also remains uncertain as global tensions persist.
