Ukraine-Russia Peace Declared
Russia and the Ukraine have both agreed to a peace proposal negotiated with President Donald Trump, leading to the establishment of a partial ceasefire for the next 30 days. The declaration occurred after a three-hour phone call between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
During this 30-day window, attacks will be banned on energy networks and governmental infrastructure. Over these 30 days, the warring parties also will see if they can negotiate a broader peace, and take steps to more permanently end the Ukraine War.
The agreement remains unstable. Within the first hour after it was announced, Russia already bombed the electrical plant for Sloviansk, leaving the city without power. And the final negotiations will involve the more ticklish questions. For instance, Russia and Ukraine will need to negotiate new boundaries. How much of the lands conquered by the Russians during the war will be ceded over to them? Here’s more from Kim Iversen.
