The ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia has deep historical roots, with the current situation being more than just one country trying to take over another. It is a shift in "the world order," as described by a U.S. official. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hopes for maximum additional sanctions on Russia if it refuses to accept a 30-day ceasefire, and he believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin's response is merely a stalling tactic. The Trump administration has held separate meetings with both Ukrainian and Russian officials in an attempt to find a resolution to the war. Ukraine agreed to enact a 30-day ceasefire, but Russia has yet to agree on terms for a short-term truce. If a ceasefire is reached, Zelenskyy suggests using satellite data, joint intelligence with allies, and reconnaissance drones to monitor violations. The most challenging issue after a potential ceasefire would be dealing with Russian-occupied Ukrainian territory. These talks took place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia between Ukraine's team and Trump administration representatives.
