Ukraine agrees to 30-day ceasefire as US prepares to lift military aid restrictions

Could you imagine if Russia violates this ceasefire too? The propaganda....

If agreed, how will Russia use those 30 days. How will Europe and Ukraine?

Zelenskyy agreed but Russia’s response has yet to come.

I disagree with OP, this ain’t a gift to Russia.

Ukrainian troops have been operationally encircled at Kursk with the only road out being under Russian fire control, Russian VVS has air above Kursk region under their control, and unconfirmed reports state that a possible coup is brewing within Ukrainian army because of Zelenskyy’s and Syrskyi‘s hubris in conducting Kursk offensive. Russia’s Operation Potok in Kursk region led to a detachment of Russian troops entering the rear of Ukrainian forces through an inactive gas pipeline resulting in weakening of the Ukrainian group at the area of ​​the city of Sudzha and some Ukrainian troops being effectively encircled in Ivashkovskii.

As Ukraine sent its most elite units into Kursk region, the destruction of Ukrainian forces in Kursk region would be very detrimental and without guns targeting the road going silent, escape is unlikely.

Given the above, a ceasefire assuming it allows a withdraw, can be temporarily life saving for Ukraine.

I might have a pro-Russia bias, but I believe that this ceasefire would benefit Ukraine in the war effort assuming they can use it to withdraw units from Kursk region.

Edit: Russia seems to have done the smart thing and just reduce Kursk before any thought on the ceasefire, annihilating tens of thousands (up to over 100K but take with grain of salt) of Ukrainian troops from the most elite units and are moving to create a security zone within Ukraine.
