As the Trump administration works toward a halt in the fighting, many experts fear that Ukraine will be forced to accept a ceasefire deal that will only give Russian forces a badly needed breather.

It is the Retribution campaign beyond Cease-fire Trump wants payback for His Impeachment...Trump wants to Humiliate Ukraine. Ukraine is Not the Karzai Government.
He's playing for time to rebuild his army and badly depleted weapons stocks. Then he will take Ukraine anyway. He's never stuck to any treaty or agreement. It's pure folly to do business with him.
Since Ukraine is literally NOT invited to the talks, this is completely illegitimate & won't work as a solution--are they really going to stop fighting because trump says so? Would you? King Jr. Trump will announce an historic win, regardless. Why even dignify this fascist PR bullshit with a story?
@npr.org can you quit "white-washing" these Nazis? I'm ashamed of such a reputable organization contributing to Nazi misinformation with these headlines
The other problem for Putin is Russian warfare has basically left the occupied areas in complete ruins. Russians won't want to move there with mines, threat of partisan assassinations and broken infrastructure. So it will be a financial drain on Russia.
Putin needs a breather, but the damage has already been done. It'll be difficult to man his army without conscription, and the economy has been damaged.
This will also buy time for Europe to re-arm and the Ukrainians to build a domestic defense industry with European help - if they have the will.
Putin is playing for time. Mango Mussolini has surrendered the US foreign policy in that region to him so he has everything he needs to continue with the war. Why is media playing footsie with the harsh reality the rest of us can see?
The body count is lopsided with many more Russians, and now North Koreans, dying than Ukrainians. They just have more bodies to sacrifice than the Ukrainians.
I'm not in a position to know whether or not the Russian military has bled itself white yet, but it seems like the Russians have been taking heavier losses than Ukraine in men and materiel the war, in large part because Ukraine has been supplied by the West.
Let us hope our EU and British NATO partners allow this state of affairs to continue, that the resulting peace is closer-aligned with our actual national interest as opposed to the inexplicable personal preference of our seemingky captive and obviously corrupt president.
What an assumption! There’s no evidence Trump is “working to halt the fighting” at all in Ukraine. He just wants to steal their minerals & give Ukraine to Putin.
Europe needs to stand up to Putin and Trump, double support for Ukraine, sanction everything left in the Russian economy. Sanction Trump's businesses and Musk's.
They are not working towards a ’halt in fighting’, they are engaging in a wholesale betrayal and enabling full-scale occupation of an independent country. Shame on you, NPR.
False narrative, NPR. Donald Trump is literally a Russian agent doing Putin's bidding. He is not "working toward a halt in the fighting," he's working toward giving Ukraine to Putin. Correct yourselves immediately.

They are being extorted by criminals.
Trump is trying to EXTORT the Ukraine for their rare minerals
That's it, Trump is a bully and doesn't care about Ukraine or its freedom.
The Ukraine-Russia war will continue for at least 10 years or until Putin is assassinated by his Generals.

As the Trump administration lies about Ukraine starting the war and continues to parrot Russian propaganda, NPR gleefully repeats these falsehoods.
There.
Ukraine? They become a Russian ghetto.
He can't be allowed to succeed.
Zelensky needs to tell them...
