False Hope of Ceasefire:
Past conversations between Trump, Zelensky, and Putin led to speculation about a 30-day ceasefire.
Despite Western optimism, Russia never agreed to a ceasefire and has shown no intention to do so.
Putin’s Position:
Putin and Russian officials, especially Lavrov, have consistently stated that a ceasefire is a “road to nowhere” unless the root causes of the war are addressed.
Putin instead proposed end-of-war negotiations, not a ceasefire, suggesting a meeting in Istanbul.
European Leaders' Misjudgment:
European leaders (Macron, Starmer, Tusk) pressured Ukraine and Trump to push for a ceasefire.
They believed pressure and threats of sanctions would force Russia to comply.
Trump reportedly agreed during calls—but not fully—and Russia still refused.
Failed Negotiations:
Russia sent a delegation to Istanbul, but Putin did not attend personally, leading Western leaders to claim he "no-showed."
The delegation included deputy foreign ministers with full authority, showing Russia treated the talks seriously, but only at a working level.
