The ball is “in the camp” of Russia. At the end of the negotiations in Saudi Arabia, Ukraine accepted a proposal from the United States on Tuesday, March 11 for a high 30 -day fire with Russia, telling itself “ready for peace” three years after the start of the invasion.
“Today we have made a proposal that the Ukrainians have accepted, which is to start a high fire and immediate negotiations,” said the United States Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, after about nine hours of discussions in Jeddah, and added that the project would be transmitted to Russia.
“The ball is now in its camp,” added the head of American diplomacy.
In Washington, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, said he was going to talk “with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, without a doubt this week.” I know we have a great meeting tomorrow with Russia and we hope that they will continue good conversations, “he said, without other details. Moscow, for his part, has not” excluded “contacts with representatives of the United States” in the next few days. “
Russia for a “definitive regulation” of war
Will Vladimir Putin accept this proposal? The last statements of the Kremlin showed an opposition to any high fire project that would be temporary.
The spokeswoman for Russian diplomacy, Maria Zakharova, judged on March 6 that any form of rest in the conflict that allows a “reorganization” of the Ukrainian troops would be “absolutely unacceptable, because it will lead exactly to the opposite result.”
Ukraine would use this truce to “strengthen its military abilities.” “In this scenario, the conflict will inevitably resume more beautiful,” he said, demanding “firm agreements on a final agreement.”
During the Paris Olympic Games, Emmanuel Macron had suggested an “Olympic truce” between Moscow and kyiv, but Vladimir Putin as Volodymyr Zelensky had refused to leave his arms.
In 2023, it was Vladimir Putin who had ordered a high fire in Ukraine for January 6 and 7, on the occasion of Orthodox Christmas, but the Ukrainian President replied that the war “will only end when it will end when it will end when it will end [leurs] The soldiers will leave or when we have thrown them outside. “
Negotiations for a high fire have already taken place between Russia and Ukraine. The most serious were held in 2022 following the Russian invasion, in Belarus and then in Türkiye, but finally it was not successful. Others, who remained secret, took place in August 2024 under the auspices of Qatar, according to the Washington PostAnd I have not brought his fruit either.
