Putin didn't ask for a golden bridge. But ask Ukraine to bow down.
Russian president Vladimir Putin technically agreed to a ceasefire in Ukraine.
But it's free?
There must be a condition!
In fact, the conditions were so tight that Kyiv described it as a tactic to delay time.
Among the conditions is that Ukraine's assurance will not use a 30 -day ceasefire to strengthen the military, clear rules on who will enforce a ceasefire, as well as a comprehensive agreement that resolves all issues including NATO expansion and Ukraine sovereignty.
Putin also claimed to have fully controlled the Kursk province, warning that the Ukrainian army trapped there must give up or die.
Ukrainian president Volodyyr Zelensky criticized Putin's reaction as a manipulative, accusing him of setting the conditions that were impossible to meet.
The trapped now is Trump, who wants the war to end as soon as possible.
Trump revealed that discussions on land exchanges between Ukraine and Russia have been ongoing, implying confidential negotiations about the future of Ukraine.
Is this the first step towards peace, or just another episode of Putin's nerve war?
The world is waiting and Trump may have to be a referee.
