Putin Vs West – Russia Rejects Ceasefire, Mocks Sanctions, Wants Direct Talks With Ukraine | CLRCUT

As tensions simmer after Russia’s brief Victory Day truce, the push for peace faces fresh complications. Putin has rejected Ukraine’s demand for a 30-day unconditional ceasefire, instead proposing renewed direct talks in Istanbul—without preconditions. Kyiv and its Western allies remain sceptical, demanding tangible action over rhetoric. France, Germany, the UK, and Poland rallied behind Ukraine with calls for an immediate ceasefire and threats of sweeping new sanctions if Russia resists. While Moscow dismisses these as futile, the real clash lies beneath the diplomacy: a race to arm Ukraine before the front lines freeze. Is this the dawn of serious negotiations—or just another round of geopolitical theatre?
