Ukraine Prepares for All Scenarios as Russia Hesitates on Ceasefire Deal

A new ceasefire proposal has emerged from high-level negotiations between the United States and Ukraine in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, potentially reshaping the course of the war. The 30-day truce, which Ukraine has already accepted, is now in Russia’s hands—forcing Moscow to choose between pausing hostilities or risking escalated Western support for Kyiv. Beyond the immediate military implications, the proposal introduces a critical diplomatic moment, testing the willingness of all sides to move toward a broader resolution. As the world watches, Russia’s response will determine whether this ceasefire becomes a turning point or just another phase in the ongoing conflict.
