Ukrainians are expressing skepticism towards a recent phone call between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, where Trump urged Putin for a temporary ceasefire. The call only resulted in a promise from Russia to pause attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. Both soldiers and civilians in Ukraine remain distrustful of Putin’s intentions, with fears that any ceasefire could ultimately benefit Moscow and potentially pave the way for further aggression. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine continues to be a source of concern for many, as uncertainty looms over the effectiveness of diplomatic efforts in the region.
