    How does this help Russia? That’s the only question to ask about US agreements at this point.

        This is true, but currently that is also much needed for the Ukrainian forces as well. Time is needed to consolidate after the withdrawal from Kursk and to get more European integration up and running.

        This. My guess is they will use about 20 days of it to regroup and bring in new meat and materials. Then they will start probing Ukrainian lines with little skirmishes in the hopes Ukraine shoots back. When they shoot back Moscow will cry out “They broke the ceasefire!” And the war is back on the menu boys. The traitors in Washington will stop giving the out-of-date intel they will be giving during the ceasefire and cry about how Ukraine can’t be trusted because it broke the ceasefire.

        It doesn’t take a John “Hannibal” Smith to suss out this one.

      It sets up Russia for accusing Ukraine of breaking the cease fire, allowing Trump to end all sanctions on Russia, sanction Ukraine, end all support to Ukraine, and possibly aid Russia in their “counter-offensive.”

      It also allows Russia time and security to safely move their troops to more strategic locations instead of being bogged down in bad positions.

    How long before Trump also says “ok therr is ceasefire, that means wars over, we can lift all sanctions on Russia effective immediately”?

    The US will “immediately lift the pause on intelligence sharing and resume security assistance to Ukraine,” it says.

    The only thing that matters. Great news!

      Have you seen the “leadership” here in the US? I’d say that’s pretty suspicious news if anything, and would consider it dangerous and traitorous.

        I mean, it’s definitely certainly 100% true that when Russia breaks the ceasefire it will be Zelenskyy’s fault, personally, so the US will have no choice.

        It’s true. Agent Orange and Couchfucker told me so.

    I hate that Ukraine lost so much and that Russia will get away with this, but looking at it another way, Ukraine held on, stopped Russia from taking their whole country, and forced a ceasefire. That’s amazing and few thought it possible just a few years ago.

    If I was Zelensky, I’d probably distrust any US intelligence going forward anyway. Cross-validate US intelligence against that of European intelligence while tracking Russian equipment movement during the ceasefire, ready to unleash a simultaneous strike against everything within reach the moment Russia breaches the agreement.

    Facepalm. The main problem is not in Kyiv. Not even in Washington. It is in Moskow.
