    1. In a joint statement, the U.S. and Ukraine said Kyiv „expressed readiness to accept the U.S. proposal to enact an immediate, interim 30-day ceasefire, which can be extended by mutual agreement of the parties, and which is subject to acceptance and concurrent implementation by“ Russia.

      „The United States will communicate to Russia that Russian reciprocity is the key to achieving peace,“ the joint statement went on to say.

      The future of U.S. support for Ukraine has been in doubt since an extraordinary on-camera spat between President Donald Trump and Zelenskyy in the Oval Office on Feb. 28.

    2. I get that the uncertainty is a negotiating tactic. Same logic for tarrifs. The Trump admin wants to be viewed as powerful and fickle so that others have to walk on pins and needles around them and give in on demands quickly „or else“. Maybe that’s a great business tactic in real estate, maybe it’s not, I don’t have any clue. But the core issue is that the uncertainty treats an alleged ally (Ukraine, Canada) as hostile.

      I know of no evidence, either in this admin or from past experience, that this strategy works well for IR.

      It’s interesting that for all the Trump hating by European countries, none of them have managed to get another proposal anywhere near approval in the same time Trump has done this.

      It adds weight to the arguement that for all the Trump hating, no-one in Europe wants to risk their own troops to solve this problem. 

      Those are literally the only options here. Trumps deal, or European troops into Ukraine to defeat Russia (which we could easily do, but at a cost)

    4. Hopefully this will show some of the pearl clutchers that Trump is aiming for peace, not just capitulation.
