CIA Chief: Ukraine Will Fight to the End Against Unjust Peace
CIA Director John Ratcliffe affirmed Ukraine’s unwavering commitment to fight for acceptable peace terms, even resorting to unconventional methods if necessary. This resolute stance underscores the ongoing efforts by President Trump to mediate a lasting peace between Russia and Ukraine, despite Russia’s rejection of a broader ceasefire proposal. A partial ceasefire, focusing on energy infrastructure and the Black Sea, was agreed upon, though its implementation remains contingent upon the lifting of Western sanctions, according to Russia. This agreement, brokered by the U.S., represents a step towards de-escalation amidst ongoing conflict.
