Putin Offers Ceasefire if Ukraine Withdraws and Abandons NATO Plans
Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed a ceasefire in the Ukraine conflict, conditional upon Ukraine withdrawing its forces from four regions currently occupied by Russian troops and renouncing its intention to join NATO.
This announcement comes as Putin emphasizes the need for peace talks based on present conditions and previously agreed-upon frameworks, rather than unilateral terms dictated by Ukraine.
Ukraine’s response has been one of skepticism, with officials suggesting that Putin’s offer is an attempt to undermine an upcoming peace summit organized by Ukraine.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba and presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak have both indicated that Russia’s terms are not conducive to a genuine peace process and that international pressure must continue to be applied to bring Russia to the negotiation table in good faith.
This development occurs amidst ongoing hostilities, particularly in the Kharkiv region, where Ukrainian forces are actively engaged in defending against Russian advances.
The situation remains tense, with continuous military support from the United States to bolster Ukraine’s defense capabilities.

The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that the outcome of the 2027 general elections will be based on the performance of candidates, not defections.
The party stressed that defections alone do not win elections, noting that credibility, leadership, and results matter more. This was said in response to comments credited to former governor Rauf Aregbesola.
The APC also dismissed claims that the opposition’s performance in Lagos weakened the party, pointing out that voters later reaffirmed their support by re-electing the APC in the governorship election and subsequent polls.
Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, has spoken on the allegation that terrorism and the increase in insecurity are linked to his administration in the state.
The governor then said “This is a country where when you work, you become a villain. I have kept quiet for too long for peace and security. But I am not a coward. I will not join them. I refuse to join their party,” he stated.
“We have built our health system, primary education, and reduced out-of-school children. We have been awarded three times by the federal government for development and good governance. And they are accusing us? What kind of paradox is this?”
