US Pressures Vladimir Putin's Russia on Ukraine Ceasefire Amid Volodymyr Zelensky Crisis

Published on 4.18.25

  The US has ruled out deploying troops to monitor a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, leading London to push for intelligence or air support instead. This development comes as Russian President Vladimir Putin rejected a US proposal for a full ceasefire, suggesting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky be removed from office, prompting an angry response from the US. In recent talks between Russian and U.S. officials, the focus has been on achieving a robust and sustainable peace in Ukraine. However, despite these efforts, Russia has continued to strike Ukraine, further straining relations. Ukrainian President Zelensky emphasized the need for a unified European response to defend Ukraine's security during a meeting with French and British leaders. President Trump is attempting to broker a ceasefire agreement between Kiev and Moscow, but his efforts have stalled due to Russia's rejection of a full 30-day ceasefire and continued violations of a partial ceasefire. Foreign Secretary David Lammy is set to meet with US top officials in Paris today, as European ministers urge the US to increase pressure on Russia for an unconditional ceasefire.
