“All this now depends on Vladimir Putin’s response.”

When the US government plane took off from Jeddah at sunrise, you can see the feeling of achievement by President Donald Trump.

Two weeks after sharp repercussions with Ukraine, Foreign Minister Marco Rubio handed over what President Trump wanted. Or at least half of it. He had a spring in his step while coming on board.

Hours of talks in Saudi Arabia ended on Tuesday with a joint statement between the United States of America, Ukraine, which approves the 30 -day “immediate” US ceasefire with Russia. In exchange for participating in the idea, Washington re -supply weapons and intelligence participation to Kyiv.

Trump administration officials believe that this is a major breakthrough towards the leaders of the commander’s foreign policy, a campaign to end the war.

“He wants to be president of peace,” said Rubio.

On his way back to North America on Wednesday, Rubio spoke with the journalists about the deal: “Here is what we want the world to seem within a few days. None of the two sides are released on each other, not missiles, not missiles, not bullets, nothing, not artillery. The fighting stops, and the conversation begins.”

For Ukraine, the advertisement is a decisive decrease for President Vodimir Zelinski, after that A humiliating attack in the Oval Office Two weeks ago by Trump and Vice President JD Vance, after he appealed to US security guarantee. The move was followed by the suspension of US arms supplies, which were now restored.

For Moscow, it turns responsibility for responding to it, while the war itself intensifies.

But so far this is a stoppage suggestion in the United States and which sees only one aspect – that depends on Americans – registration.

The United States has been appointed to present the plan to Russia in the coming days.

Witness: Rubio is about how we want us to do Ukraine negotiations Russia

The length of the proposal is only eight paragraphs and contains small details that exceed the desire to move forward in the Trump idea.

“We will now take this offer to the Russians … the ball is now at their stadium,” said Rubio.

Does the ceasefire make it reasonable? And if this is the case, can the war be ended after Russia’s invasion of three years ago in a fair and sustainable manner, and on the conditions that keep the region and the world safe?

It is worth dismantling some of the statement to try to analyze it.

The “Fawry” shooting stop for 30 days

“Ukraine has expressed its willingness to accept the American proposal for a temporary immediate stopping for 30 days, which can be extended by the mutual agreement between the parties, which is subject to acceptance and coinciding by the Russian Federation. The United States will continue to Russia that Russian is the key to peace,” The statement says.

The keyword here is “instant”, which does not leave any doubt: Trump wants to retreat now. However, his urgency often led to fears in Europe.

Many fear that the desired result will accelerate without practicing terms first in military pressure on Moscow as a gas power and can lead to the exploitation of the truce.

They argue that it enables the power of the occupation.

Fear is ultimately Ukraine to effective surrender. The theory is that Russia – the largest, most populous and most self -acquisition force – can use a truce without establishing concessions first to unite its forces, and to connect the negotiation and waiting process to know what is happening politically for Trump during his term while hunting for everything he seized; Even then, try to take more land, build on her current profession and may use a fracture in the Western Alliance to threaten more Europe.

The process of negotiating the conditions before the ceasefire of conflict can be important to ensure that the parties convert the current military threats into meaningful strategic gains.

Zelinski previously tried to persuade the Americans that Russian President Vladimir Putin could not be trusted, as it is clear from the fact that he broke Europe -backed Minsk Conventions after the seizure of Ukrainian lands in 2014.

Trump rejects these concerns, saying that there will be security for Ukraine, but without saying how it will be guaranteed. He said that Putin will be deterred while in a difficult position with “no choice”, but to conclude a deal for reasons “I just know it.”

Rubio said on Tuesday that the American delegation was taking place with the Ukrainians at a permanent end of the war, including “the type of guarantees they will get for their security and prosperity in the long run,” but they did not clarify again.

Intelligence sharing raised a pause

“The United States will immediately raise the temporary suspension of intelligence exchange and the resumption of security assistance to Ukraine,” The ceasefire proposal says.

This is the great victory for Zelensky in this agreement and believes that American weapons supplies are delivered at a rate of about $ 2 billion (1.5 billion pounds)-restored a month.

It is important, that Washington will again share intelligence data and satellite images with Kyiv, which helps it target Russian positions. The White House said that it had suspended this aid because it felt that Zelinski was not “committed” to Trump’s peace plan.

The Ukrainian leader tried to express his fears based on some of the above reasons when he was expelled from the Oval Office. Its reservations are likely to be allocated while the agreement is welcomed in this form – a necessary price to pay to restore US security assistance.

Security guarantees for Ukraine are unclear

“Both delegations agreed to naming their negotiating teams and immediately starting negotiations towards a permanent peace stipulating the long term in Ukraine. The United States has committed to discussing these specific proposals with representatives from Russia. The Ukrainian delegation confirmed that European partners will participate in the peace process,” He says the plan.

This paragraph is confusing because it is unclear whether it refers to negotiations between Ukraine and the United States on creating any security guarantees for Ukraine, or if it indicates negotiations between Ukraine and Russia to end the war permanently once the shooting stops.

If this is the first, it seems that it indicates that Washington and Kiev will deliver any decisions on how to make a backup copy of Ukraine’s security and deter Russian violations on the armistice, and the United States will then discuss with Moscow.

But all this is far from the type of security guarantee that Zelinski finally wanted, which is NATO membership, which Trump said will not happen – a long -term privilege for Moscow’s demands.

The paragraph also contains a mysterious and invisible signal to the idea of ​​European peacekeeping forces, which was developed by the United Kingdom and France, although the line is due to the Ukrainian delegation only.

It is worth noting that the United States does not seem to put its name in this part after Moscow has categorically rejected the idea.

Ukraine metal deal

“… The heads of countries agreed to conclude as soon as possible, a comprehensive agreement to develop critical metal resources in Ukraine to expand the economy of Ukraine and ensure the prosperity and security of Ukraine in the long term.”

This was the agreement that was not signed after Zelinski was asked to leave the White House last month.

The United States will give a future share in some state -owned metal deposits in Ukraine, as well as oil and gas revenues.

Trump believes that it is an effective security guarantee for Ukraine, on the pretext that it will deter the Russian invasion because American companies will be on the ground.

Opponents point out that this is meaningless because the American economic presence in Ukraine did not deter Putin in 2014 or 2022.

“The Ukrainian delegation repeated the gratitude of the strong Ukrainian people of President Trump …”

This is a major line that may help explain the rehabilitation of Xielinki in the eyes of the White House.

Vans had ignited him in the Oval Office for not thanked Trump, although the Ukrainian leader thanked dozens of the United States for his military support.

Now Trump has an official Ukrainian, thank you, for a piece of paper aimed at making peace.
