Trump Pushes for 30-Day Ceasefire to End Ukraine Conflict

U.S. President Donald Trump has called for a 30-day unconditional ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, warning of additional sanctions if the ceasefire is violated. Trump's appeal comes as part of an effort to bring an end to the ongoing conflict between the two nations.

In his remarks, Trump stated that if the proposed ceasefire is not maintained, the U.S. and its allies will implement further punitive measures. He emphasized the need for both countries to honor the sanctity of negotiations and hinted at a potential peace agreement.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy remarked his nation's readiness for the immediate ceasefire, urging Russia to exhibit a similar commitment. Despite Ukraine's willingness, tensions persist as both sides blame each other for continued hostilities. The situation remains fragile as global leaders watch closely.
