Putin Rejected ceasefire until Ukraine surrenders parts in the east 

Trump and Putin’s meeting last week lasted three-hours which included talks on ceasefire, deals and possible ways to stop the war. Putin has rejected a ceasefire but is willing to do so if Zelensky gives away the eastern part of its territory. Zelensky has firmly expressed his intention of not surrendering in any way. “Ukrainians will not give their land to the occupier.”

The Russia-Ukraine War started on 24 February 2022 and continued for more than three years. The Russian troop has made attempts to capture parts of Ukraine one after another and Ukrainian forces have continued to resist the aggression and refused to surrender. The main reason for Russia to invade Ukraine was the decision to be a part of NATO, which is an organisation headed by the USA.
