Trump asks Putin for mercy: fate of the Ukrainian soldiers in Kursk!
US President Donald Trump has made a remarkable appeal to Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin for leniency for Ukrainian soldiers who are in a critical situation in Russia's Kursk region. In a post on his social network Truth Social, Trump said that thousands of Ukrainian soldiers were surrounded by the Russian military and were in an extremely vulnerable position. He called on Putin to spare their lives to prevent a massacre. Putin agreed to this request and explained that Ukrainian soldiers should be ordered to lay down their arms and surrender to take humanitarian considerations into account, as well as from The New York Times was reported.
The focus now is on Ukraine's responsibility to assess the situation. The General Staff in Kiev rejected claims that their soldiers were surrounded, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky acknowledged that the situation in Kursk was very serious. He thanked the fighters for their efforts, reflecting the gravity of the situation. Vladimir Putin admitted to the National Security Council that if the soldiers did not surrender, there would be a risk of merciless destruction. In this tense situation, a possible 30-day ceasefire is on the table, which Trump and the G-7 countries have also supported, underlining the diplomatic efforts at this critical stage.
