Czech President Pavel says Russia-Ukraine ceasefire was 'quite close'

Original: # Czech President Petr # Pavel says a # ceasefire between # russia and # Ukraine was “quite close” – until President Don

Czech President Petr Pavel said a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine was "quite close" until US President Donald Trump lifted sanctions on Russian diesel. Pavel suggested the sanctions relief undermined momentum toward ending the war. His remarks add to debate over whether American concessions on Russian energy exports are weakening pressure on Moscow just as peace negotiations had gained ground.

Why now: Pavel's claim that Trump's sanctions decision derailed a near ceasefire is a striking accusation touching ongoing war diplomacy
