**Ukrainians Skeptical of Trump's Latest Ceasefire Ultimatum to Russia**
As air raid sirens continue to disrupt daily life, Ukraine expresses doubts over new US sanctions against Russia.
Despite US President Donald Trump's latest promise of a 50-day ultimatum for Russia to agree to a ceasefire, many Ukrainians remain unimpressed and anxious about the potential escalation of attacks as the war drags on. The ongoing Russian drone and missile strikes have taken a severe toll on the residents of Kyiv, leading to sleepless nights and heightened stress.
Prominent Ukrainian figures, including Kyiv Mayor Vitaly Klitschko, have openly questioned the wisdom of allowing another 50 days for negotiations, suggesting that this could result in additional casualties during that timeframe. President Volodymyr Zelensky acknowledged Trump’s commitment to providing military support but indicated that the ultimatum risks prolonging the violence as more civilians could die in the interim.
Ukrainian MP Kira Rudik expressed concern, viewing the announcement as both encouraging and discouraging, given the dire consequences of the ongoing assault. She criticized the lack of proof that Russia intends to halt its military actions, arguing that Ukraine has consistently called for an unconditional ceasefire.
International observers noted a lack of enthusiasm for Trump’s proposals within Kyiv, where citizens expressed skepticism about the genuine impact of US actions. Many cite past disappointments during Trump's presidency as evidence that his pledges offer little hope for meaningful change.
Some residents are cautiously optimistic that new military aid might help expedite the war's end, hoping that bolstered defenses could lead to a quicker resolution. Photos of fallen soldiers lining the streets of Kyiv serve as constant reminders of the human cost of the conflict as time ticks away on Trump’s ultimatum.
While Trump suggests new tariffs targeting Russia, the war’s devastating toll continues to unfold in Ukraine—leaving families to wonder if peace will ever be achievable.
