Joint Ukraine-US statement saying ‘ball is now in Russia’s court’ is followed by reports of an air strike on Kyiv

This is clearly a gift to Russia.

    I agree. This also puts Putin under pressure because not agreeing after Ukraine already has would make him look bloodthirsty even to his supporters.

      Anyone who doesn’t already see what Putin is, is a fool or a liar.

      I don’t think this puts Putin under any pressure. If anything there’s a lot of people who are going to criticize him if he accepts another temporary ceasefire that allows Ukraine to rearm

        Russia could use that time to rearm too. Don’t assume their logistics are in great shape.
