Ceasefire Agreement and Its Implications

A ceasefire agreement announced in Jeddah brings together American diplomats and Ukrainian officials, marking a significant diplomatic moment in the conflict. This 30-day ceasefire aims to give both sides, particularly Ukraine, time to reset amidst their ongoing struggles against Russian advances.
