The US president said he would like to see a ceasefire from Russia and hopes that "Russia will do the right thing," because if not, it will be a very "disappointing moment for the whole world." https://video.nostr.build/441193fbfb985b6c858bb07c9e85cbef8b68fc38d892e916d93a138bb7d7270e.mp4

According to Russian state-owned news outlet Tass, the Kremlin’s foreign policy advisor, Yuri Ushakov, is set to meet the United States’s White House Special Envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, today “in a closed format.” This comes as the U.S. has reportedly received the Russian response to the U.S.-Ukraine ceasefire proposal. The response mirrors much of Russia’s past demands but notably has additional demands pertaining to the U.S.-NATO Eastern European force-posture.

Sweden’s Minister of Defense Pål Jonson has just announced a New Military Arms Package for Ukraine, worth over $300 Million, which consists of 18 additional “Archer” 155mm Self-Propelled Howitzers and 5 “ARTHUR” (Artillery Hunting Radar) Counter-Battery Radars.

Sweden has also announced that it will be joining the Artillery Capabilities Coalition, which is led by France and consists of at least 14 Countries working to build and advance Artillery Capabilities utilized by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Here we can see Putin saying that he “agrees with the idea of a ceasefire,” but… he raises a series of conditions, essentially stating that he does not want Ukraine to receive weapons or train more soldiers during the ceasefire.

In other words, Trump’s ceasefire proposal was not accepted by Putin. He wants a ceasefire, but on his own terms—one that would involve a complete halt of Ukraine’s military capabilities, meaning that during the ceasefire, Ukrainians would be unable to receive weapons or mobilize more troops. https://video.nostr.build/aaae2aa9e71f72150b00ba9058f80de5c52baecfaab848c6d236a7a161ed8a6b.mp4

The Trump Administration has reportedly ordered U.S. Southern Command to begin drafting military options for the Panama Canal, with plans including the forcible seizure of the canal by military means, similar to parts of “Operation Just Cause” in 1989, or a defensive partnership between the U.S. Armed Forces and the Panamanian Public Forces.

Vladimir Putin has responded to Trump’s ceasefire proposal for Ukraine. He stated that he “agrees with the proposal” but added that Russia seeks a long-term ceasefire that “addresses the causes of the ‘crisis’ in Ukraine.”

By “crisis,” Putin refers to Russia’s invasion, and by “causes,” he means the removal of Volodymyr Zelensky’s government, the recognition of Russian-occupied territories, and the demilitarization of Ukraine.

In other words, Russia has effectively rejected the ceasefire proposal, and the war continues as before. Now, all eyes are on Trump’s next move, as he previously stated he would “destroy the Russian economy” if Putin did not accept his proposal.

With this Russian stance—after Ukraine had already accepted the ceasefire—Trump’s narrative that Ukraine was unwilling to negotiate peace collapses. Even Marco Rubio, speaking in Saudi Arabia, said that if Russia rejected the deal, the U.S. would finally know who truly does not want peace.

Now, we wait for the Trump administration’s response. https://video.nostr.build/ac3be888b23149724a5a12c98f8ffb0b81f2d8b40887085cae9c1ac63a2eb8d0.mp4

Putin said that the relationship between Russia and Belarus could be an example for other countries.

The Israel Defense Force (IDF) has confirmed a strike in Damascus, Syria today, claiming that the targeted site was a command and control (C2) hub of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terror group. Israeli decision-makers, including the defense minister, have vowed to to continue such strikes should the transitional government allow these groups to proliferate under its nose.

The Kremlin Foreign Policy Advisor, Yuri Ushakov, has said that the current 30-day ceasefire proposal doesn’t benefit Russia. However, all reports that Russia has rejected the proposal are untrue at this time, as Russian President Vladimir Putin will have the final say. Given White House Special Envoy Steve Witkoff’s confirmed trip to Moscow soon, barring a significant development, it’s unlikely that we’ll see a full rejection or acquiescence to the proposal from Russia's top decision-maker before then.

Al-Nour Radio correspondent: Machine-gun rounds were fired by Israeli occupation soldiers at the Al-Asi site, opposite Mays Al-Jabal, towards the outskirts of the town adjacent to the border.

Prime Minister of Ukraine Shmyhal stated that the first tranche of $1.7 billion of frozen Russian assets has been received by Ukraine from Canada.

Putin is expected to make a statement today regarding the U.S. ceasefire proposal. According to Peskov, the statement will be given during the visit of Belarusian dictator Lukashenko. No specific time has been announced.

Zelensky on the 30-day truce proposed by the United States: "Unfortunately, the world has not heard a substantive response from Russia for more than a day regarding the proposals that were made."

"And this again confirms that it is Russia that seeks to continue the war and will try to delay the onset of peace as much as possible. We hope that the pressure from the United States will be enough to force Russia to end the war." - said the president, who listened to reports from the Ukrainian delegation about the meeting with representatives of the United States in Saudi Arabia.
