Analysts predict that Russia could seek the lifting of sanctions or the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from Kursk as conditions for accepting a 30-day ceasefire. Following talks in Jeddah, the US and Ukraine reached an agreement, which includes humanitarian efforts but lacks specifics on sanctions or security guarantees. Experts suggest that without addressing these concerns, Russia may not acquiesce to the ceasefire. The preliminary discussions highlight complex dynamics as both nations navigate this sensitive geopolitical landscape amid ongoing conflict.
"It is unlikely that Russia would accept the US-Ukraine proposal without demands of its own being met, particularly regarding sanctions or troop withdrawals."
"The ceasefire proposal made no mention of sanctions on Russia, nor of security guarantees for Ukraine, or Ukraine withdrawing troops from Kursk."
