In a recent development, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine is ready to observe a ceasefire against energy targets following a U.S.-brokered deal, aimed at suspending strikes on energy facilities in the Black Sea region. Despite the agreed terms, Zelenskyy expressed skepticism, stating that Ukraine does not trust Russia, which has been accused of manipulating the ceasefire accords. The partial ceasefire, set to take effect immediately, raises concerns among military analysts in Kyiv about potential advantages for Russia. With the Kremlin demanding the lifting of sanctions before the ceasefire is fully implemented, and past accusations of manipulation by Russia, the road ahead remains fraught with uncertainty. Zelenskyy has reiterated that any breach of the agreements would not be tolerated and warned that further actions from Moscow will reveal their true intentions. Türkiye is also expected to play a role in observing the ceasefire amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
