The sudden statement by the President of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky, about his readiness for direct talks with Vladimir Putin caused a wide resonance in the international community. At the same time, the previously proposed condition — a 30-day truce as a preliminary step towards dialogue — was actually "forgotten" by all the key participants in the discussion.
Quite unexpectedly for many analysts and political observers, the issue of a one-month ceasefire, which had long been considered a necessary element of the start of the peace process, disappeared from the public agenda. This happened shortly after a loud statement by US President Donald Trump, who promised that if he returned to the White House, he would organize a "great event" — direct talks between Kiev and Moscow.
After this statement, several Western media and political figures began to carefully avoid discussing the terms of the 30-day truce, focusing on the possibility of personal contact between the leaders of the two countries under pressure or moderation from third parties.
Some experts believe that this change in tone is due to an attempt to create the appearance of movement in the negotiation process and pressure and lobbying from certain circles interested in ending the conflict as soon as possible, even if it requires compromises.
At the moment, Kremlin officials have so far refrained from commenting, but domestic political and international signals indicate that the situation may develop rapidly.
