Europe Wins Trump’s Support for Unconditional Ceasefire

KYIV " European leaders on Saturday upped the pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin to accept a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine without any conditions attached, warning that Western allies would impose further sanctions on Moscow and ramp up military support for Kyiv if Moscow does not comply.

Crucially, U.S. President Donald Trump backs the European demands and is also willing to contribute to the implementation and surveillance of a potential ceasefire " at least that's what the European side says.

Comments

"During the three-hour discussion between the leaders in Zelenskyy's Mariinsky Palace, Macron had taken the initiative to call Trump on his mobile phone and brief him together with the other leaders on the discussions.

Trump picked up the call, even though it was still before 7 a.m. in Washington, and agreed to support the European demands, according to two officials with knowledge of the matter.

The proposed ceasefire will have "oversight provided mainly by the United States of America, and to which all Europeans will contribute," Macron later told reporters."

Damn! There goes MGT MAGA support... well, they know he's prollyjust playing 12D chess, so, not to worry.

Plus a few rubles more in his pocket, and he'll switch back faster than he changes on tariffs.

Sanctioning Russia doesn't work when China is still buying oil and natural gas from them.

As well as India.

Yes - Trump supports a ceasefire. Of course, Europe wants US troops and money to actually enforce it. About time Europe came around on this point. That said, it is not in Putin's interest to agree to it unless he believes Europe will also force Ukraine to accept his key demands on ending the war. If he doesn't think so, it just gives Ukraine more time to rearm from Europe and dig new defensive lines as the current ones have collapsed.
