Zelensky Offers Putin 60-Day Ceasefire, Promises Elections if Truce Holds
🇺🇦 KYIV — Zelensky is negotiating with Putin while Trump works to replace him. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: A public ABC offer — ceasefire for elections — is Zelensky's attempt to outmaneuver Trump's delegitimization by showing he'll submit to democratic scrutiny. But it hands Moscow leverage: Putin can reject it and blame Kyiv, or accept and freeze lines. Either outcome benefits Russia more than Ukraine. Washington, already selling Lukoil for a pause, didn't ask Zelensky first.
