Putin rejects Ukrainian ceasefire proposal-Trump demands peace!

Kupjansk, Ukraine - On April 29, 2025, the Kremlin rejected the Ukrainian proposal to extend the ceasefire by 30 days. Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskow explained that clarity about certain conditions was initially necessary. President Vladimir Putin had already formulated conditions for a possible 30-day ceasefire in March, which includes non-use of the period for reordering or reworking of the Ukraine as well as the posting of western armaments to the Ukraine. Putin also announced a limited fire break from May 8th to 11th "for humanitarian reasons". In these three days, the Russian victory parade on Red Square is likely to take place, to which prominent guests such as the Chinese head of state XI Jinping and Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico are expected.

The Ukrainian government sees the fire break as a perfidious attempt by Russia to only pretend to be willing to dialogue. President Wolodymyr Selenskyj described the proposal as manipulation and could be interpreted as tactical maneuvers in Russia to keep calm during the parade. Andrij Jermak, chief of staff of Selenskyj, also called for an actual long -term ceasefire for real peace, instead of a short -term moratorium. op online remains skeptical of the credibility of the Russian weapon rest, especially according to reports on continued attacks on civilian Infrastructures that, according to Ukrainian Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, are not interrupted. There are also reports of 166 drone attacks by Russia, with 40 of them being intercepted.

US president and peace talks

President Donald Trump, who is increasingly frustrated with the actions of Putin and Selenskyj, emphasized that a three-day ceasefire was not sufficient. Instead, he strives for a permanent ceasefire. Krone quotes Trump, who expressed the possibility of an agreement at a meeting in Rome, but also spoke to the willingness to leave Russia, which categorically rejects.

Trump and Selenskyj are also under pressure through the current developments. According to surveys, the Ukrainians are skeptical about peace negotiations, although 77 percent support a 30-day break. However, the majority of the population has little confidence in the reliability of the Russian President Putin, as a survey shows. Tagesschau emphasizes the ongoing rage in Russia and emphasizes that many Ukrainians of the daily reality of War, especially in cities such as Kupjansk, have to endure, where residents report on bombing. This situation leads to a strong distrust of a possible ceasefire.
