    “Zelenskyy misunderstood the conditions of the ceasefire. You see, the US and Russia agreed that Ukraine would no longer launch attacks against Russia. We didn’t say anything about the other way around. Ukraine needs to start understanding the terms of the ceasefire we’re agreeing to on their behalf if they want to show they’re serious about ending a war they started.”

    – JD Vance, probably.

    Russia’s attack yesterday occurred before Ukraine accepted the ceasefire and was a retaliation for Ukraine’s failed offensive into Belgorod. Ukraine accepted the ceasefire a few hours after the attack leading to Putin ordering air defenses to shoot down any Russian drones heading to Ukraine. Ukraine proceeded to attack an oil depot after accepting the ceasefire.

    Meaning that Putin complied with the ceasefire by halting all attacks on energy infrastructure in Ukraine and even ordered air defenses to shoot down their own drones heading to Ukraine. Ukraine proceeded to attack Russian energy infrastructure in violation of ceasefire.

      I just read that Putin never agreed to the ceasefire though. Did he actually ever agree, and that article was wrong?

      Edit:news evolves pretty fast, it looked like he rejected it, but accepted a ceasefire on energy stuff that I guess was what it was always about? I thought it was a general cease fire

        Putin rejected the full 30-day ceasefire not the ceasefire regarding attacks on energy infrastructure.
