The Kremlin is awaiting details from Washington regarding a proposed 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine, which Ukraine agrees to only if Russia complies. Despite Ukraine's desire for peace, Russia's actions indicate ongoing aggression, as seen in recent attacks on Ukrainian cities. Political expert Donnacha Ó Beacháin expresses skepticism about Russia's willingness to accept terms that do not support its territorial ambitions. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasizes the need for a Russian response to the ceasefire proposal, while Ó Beacháin notes the fragility of Putin's regime and the potential for internal pressure.
