The United States agreed on Tuesday to resume military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine, after Kyiv accepted a U.S.-proposed 30-day ceasefire, the two nations announced in a joint statement.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. will now present the ceasefire offer to Russia, adding that the next move is up to Moscow.
"The President wanted this war to end yesterday," Rubio said, emphasizing the urgency of negotiations. "Our hope is that the Russians will say ‘yes’ as quickly as possible so we can move to the next phase—real peace talks."
Meanwhile, the battlefield remains volatile. Ukraine launched its biggest drone strike on Moscow yet, targeting an oil refinery and military facilities. Russia claimed to have shot down 337 drones but reported casualties and infrastructure damage.
With the ceasefire proposal now in Russia’s hands, Trump’s national security adviser Mike Waltz will engage with his Russian counterpart in the coming days. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte is also set to visit the White House on Thursday.
