Скачать или смотреть Putin under Pressure: Strategic Shifts and the Road to a Ceasefire in Ukraine

We assess the current military situation in Ukraine and discuss the prospects for a potential ceasefire. For the first time since Donald Trump’s return to the White House in January, the United States have imposed direct sanctions on Russia. This decision followed a call by the US President for a frontline freeze, a move supported by Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and EU leaders. As a result, pressure on the Kremlin is intensifying. We explore the implications of these recent developments for the course of the war and discuss the steps Europe needs to take now to strengthen Kyiv‘s negotiating position.
