Russia has submitted a list of demands to the United States regarding a ceasefire in Ukraine. The Kremlin is currently evaluating a proposed 30-day ceasefire plan communicated by Washington, which U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio hopes will yield a resolution within days. Russian President Vladimir Putin, during a visit to the Kursk region, highlighted recent military successes, asserting that Russian forces have reclaimed significant territory from Ukrainian control. The Kremlin’s demands reportedly mirror previous conditions, including Ukraine’s renunciation of NATO membership and recognition of Russian claims over Crimea and four additional regions in Ukraine. Meanwhile, the U.S. has resumed arms supplies and intelligence sharing with Ukraine, emphasizing the importance of European involvement in any security guarantees. The outcome of these negotiations could critically reshape the geopolitical landscape in Eastern Europe, reflecting the ongoing tension between Russia and the West.
