US EditionLong-range Russian attacks continue to kill Ukrainians amid ceasefire deadlock
- Two months ago in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, the United States suggested a ceasefire lasting 30 days without conditions between Russia and Ukraine; Ukraine indicated conditional acceptance, while Russia rejected the offer.
- Russia dismissed the ceasefire proposal, arguing that it would primarily serve to aid Ukraine and its Western supporters by giving them time to restock their weapons, resulting in ongoing combat along an approximately 1,000-mile front.
