Summary
Vladimir Putin responded to Ukraine’s US-backed ceasefire proposal by imposing strict conditions, including a halt to Kyiv’s military aid and mobilization, while continuing Russia’s own rearmament.
His calculated stance prolongs negotiations without outright rejecting Donald Trump’s initiative, which seeks to end the war while pressuring Ukraine.
Putin also demands Ukraine’s demilitarization, exclusion from NATO, and recognition of Russian territorial claims.
Trump, with limited leverage, may shift toward aligning with Putin’s terms. Meanwhile, Ukraine fears the ceasefire could allow Russia to regroup and intensify its offensive.
The majority of Americans do not want to provide more money and arms to Ukraine. Only a fraction of the population want to provide more arms and money to Ukraine.
Only 30% want to reduce help. Reduce, not even stop. Only 30%.
Nope, the survey is about the help given so far, not about the future. 30% think too much help has been given.
Read it again, that’s not what the survey says. The 23% want the support to stay at the current level.
