Everything indicates that the Ukrainians drew conclusions and did exemplary homework before gathering with the Americans. Referring to the language of morality and ethics, they understood that the helpless victim had no greater chance with a knife-armed bandit in a dark alley. Referring to the language of diplomacy, they did what they could under the circumstances to get closer to their goal.
The Kremlin will have an exceptionally hard nut to crack.
First, equally 10 days after the events in the White House, erstwhile the emotions were inactive strong, they came to talks in Saudi Arabia without president Zelenski, who acts highly badly on Americans.
More importantly, however, they chose the right tactics – welcoming Americans to make a situation in which the Russians would gotta deny it.
"Russians lead a serious offensive to push Ukrainians out of the Kurdish circuit"
It was not a peculiarly hard task for them to suspend fire for 30 days. After all, on the front, the Russians are hit. The key logistics hub Pokrowsk has already been surrounded from the east and south, attempting to take control of the key road connecting the city to the western part of the country.
Above all, however, the Russians are presently conducting a serious offensive which aims to push the Ukrainians out of the Russian Kursk circuit. erstwhile I compose these words, Ukrainian troops retreat, and in their hands remains only the key city of Suja with suburbs.

Stopping at this point would knock Moscow troops out of impact and give Ukrainians time to strengthen position and regroup forces.
Unless, in the background of American-Ukrainian negotiations, there is simply a wider American-Russian game (and this in the face of erratic White home residents in no way can we regulation out), a 30-day ceasefire will be an highly hard nut to crack for the Kremlin. At this point, Moscow just doesn't pay off.
"Moscow has launched a game to hold any decisions"
Thus, Zełenski's squad put Putin in a position where he would gotta tell Trump "no!". And this – again, if Trump doesn't play with Putin on 1 team, and he truly wants to bring peace – could infuriate the American President.
From reports coming from both camps, it can be concluded that Moscow has already started its game to hold any decisions. erstwhile Trump announced that the Americans would meet with the Russians to establish a ceasefire yet “today or tomorrow”, The Kremlin responded with the mouth of Russian MFA spokesperson Maria Zacharova (always responding to Trump through lower-ranking officials than he was, it was a permanent Russian maneuver to diminish his opponents), that the Russian side does not exclude contacts with US representatives in the next fewer days.

However, without adequate information about who is playing and what, it can be assumed that the Ukrainians took a step in the right direction, saying yes to Trump. I can't find America by saying that the American president is simply a man with an ego so large that another Air Force 1 should be built for him, due to the fact that it's hard to believe that they're both on 1 plane. Emotional and prestigious issues play a more crucial function in these conversations than we may think. In this sense, the Ukrainians are going in the right direction.
As for the current situation on the front, a fewer hours after the findings in Saudi Arabia, I called or wrote to soldiers on various sections of the front. Everyone has confirmed that the exchange of fire is at its best. "Artillery shoots both sides. erstwhile I compose this, something just exploded," 1 of them wrote.
