Russia-Ukraine updates: US lifts aid pause as Kyiv backs 30-day ceasefire
Ukrainian official says US resumed military aid to Kyiv
The announcement from Pavlo Palisa, the deputy head of Ukraine’s presidential office, comes just hours after officials from the US and Ukraine said they had reached an agreement in Saudi Arabia.
The deal saw the immediate restoration of US aid and intelligence-sharing with Ukraine. In exchange, Ukraine committed to a 30-day ceasefire proposal.
“I have confirmation that US military assistance has been resumed. The agreements are being implemented,” Palisa said in a post on Facebook.
Poland says ready for US support to resume to Ukraine
Polish officials welcomed the news that the US would immediately restore the flow of aid to war-torn Ukraine, after the assistance was severed earlier this month.
“We are ready as Poland, with an airport, with a hub in Rzeszow, in Jasionka, to accept this aid. We maintain operational capability all the time, and we are fully prepared to resume American support,” Polish Defence Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz told the broadcaster TVN24.
Trump hails ‘big difference’ in US-Ukraine relations
While inspecting Tesla products outside the White House with his adviser Elon Musk, US President Trump weighed in on the negotiations that unfolded today in Jeddah.
He appeared willing to put his friction with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy behind him: The two leaders had a tense exchange in the Oval Office on February 28.
“I think it’s a big difference between the last visit you saw at the Oval Office,” Trump said as he walked past Tesla cars. He told reporters Zelenskyy would be invited back to the White House in future.
He did, however, acknowledge that Russia may not agree to the ceasefire deal hammered out between the US and Ukraine.
“I think the ceasefire is very important if we can get Russia to do it. That’ll be great. If we can’t, we just keep going on, and people are gonna get killed. Lots of people,” Trump said.

Col Doug Macgregor - U.S. Meeting w/Putin This Week: Where Will it Go?
Key points:
U.S. as the Key Player: Russia views the U.S. as the real decision-maker behind Ukraine’s military efforts, given its role in providing military aid, intelligence, and strategic support. Thus, Russia expects negotiations to be directly with the U.S., rather than Ukraine.
Challenges in Reaching a Ceasefire: Ukraine has agreed to a temporary ceasefire, but Russia remains resistant. Moscow insists that negotiations should come before any ceasefire and that a peace agreement must be comprehensive to prevent future conflicts.
Neutrality as a Solution: Some analysts argue that the best deterrent against further conflict is for Ukraine to commit to neutrality, similar to Austria’s post-WWII status, rather than continuing military buildups.
Ongoing U.S. Military Support: The U.S. continues to provide aid, weapons, and intelligence to Ukraine, which some believe prolongs the war instead of facilitating peace. There are concerns that U.S. support enables attacks inside Russia, which escalates tensions rather than resolving the conflict.
Russia’s Stance on Ceasefire and Peace Talks: Russian officials, including Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, have repeatedly stated that they will not accept a ceasefire before serious negotiations take place. Moscow believes Ukraine would use a ceasefire to regroup and rearm for future attacks.
Conditions for Peace Negotiations: The presentation suggests that for negotiations to move forward, the U.S. should halt military aid to Ukraine and withdraw all personnel. This could push Ukraine to seek peace and signal to Russia that the West is serious about ending the war.
Geopolitical Calculations: Russia believes the Ukrainian government, backed by Western powers, is unwilling to negotiate in good faith. Moscow sees the conflict as a direct result of U.S. actions, including the 2014 Ukrainian coup and subsequent military support.
Conclusion:
The presentation highlights the difficulties in securing a ceasefire, given Russia’s firm stance on continuing the fight until a long-term agreement is reached. It argues that Western support for Ukraine is prolonging the war and suggests that halting aid and negotiating neutrality for Ukraine might be the only viable path to peace. - D.D.
