Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed conditional support for a ceasefire in Ukraine, raising questions that need addressing before agreement. Following a joint proposal by U.S. and Ukraine for a 30-day ceasefire focused on POW exchanges and civilian returns, the response to Putin's comments highlighted skepticism from Ukraine and a mixed reaction from Trump.
