About this episode

Conversations on Groong - March 12, 2025

Topics

  • Ceasefire Terms: The Ukraine-U.S. proposal is a 30-day truce, contingent on Russia’s acceptance, with U.S. resuming military aid and intelligence-sharing.
  • Negotiation Dynamics: Ukraine seeks breathing space, the U.S. aims for diplomatic progress, and Russia has yet to respond, keeping its options open.
  • Posturing & International Pressure: The U.S., Ukraine, and the EU are aligning their messaging, framing Russia as the obstacle if it rejects the deal. Marco Rubio stated, “If Russia doesn’t accept, we’ll know who is perpetuating the conflict.”
  • Risks & Challenges: Concerns include lack of enforcement mechanisms, past ceasefire violations, and whether Russia could use this as a regrouping opportunity rather than a step toward peace.
