US determines Easter target for Ukraine ceasefire agreement
(MENAFN) Washington is working to secure a ceasefire in Ukraine by Easter, Bloomberg reported on Sunday, citing insider sources.
US President Donald Trump has prioritized ending the conflict swiftly and has reinitiated diplomatic dialogue with Russia, which had been frozen under his predecessor, Joe Biden. High-level delegations from both countries are set to meet in Riyadh on Monday for a second round of negotiations following the recent shift in relations.
During a phone call between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin last Tuesday, Moscow agreed to a temporary halt on strikes against energy infrastructure. However, Russia claims that Kiev violated the agreement almost immediately.
According to Bloomberg, the White House hopes to finalize a full ceasefire by April 20, but acknowledges that significant disagreements may cause delays.
Ahead of last week’s Moscow meeting with Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, Putin expressed willingness to consider a 30-day ceasefire—but only if Ukraine’s military draft and Western arms deliveries are suspended during the truce. Washington has reportedly rejected these conditions, insisting that any agreement must be acceptable to Kiev.
Despite the partial truce brokered by the US, Ukraine allegedly launched attacks on Russian energy sites, including an oil depot and a gas metering station in Kursk Region.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed Ukrainian claims that Russia had targeted its own infrastructure, calling them “absurd.” He also accused Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky of being unreliable, stating that Kiev’s word “is not worth much.”
Putin has emphasized that before agreeing to a ceasefire, Moscow needs a clear and enforceable plan to ensure its implementation.
