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.
Human rights activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju has faced backlash after suggesting that opposition figures, including Peter Obi, could contribute to President Tinubu’s chances of re-election if opposition votes remain divided.
He stated “If Tinubu gets re-elected in 2027, blame Peter Obi and the other contractor-general. With all the insecurity and kidnapping in the country, they are the ones aggressively working for his second term by ensuring opposition votes are divided like they did in 2023.”
His comments sparked criticism from many Nigerians, who argued that Peter Obi is not the only opposition figure and should not be solely blamed for political divisions.
Nigeria’s Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, has expressed confidence that the northern region will support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the next election.
According to Matawalle, the administration has delivered major infrastructure projects and development initiatives across the region.
“For us in the North, our votes for the APC and President Tinubu will show clearly that we appreciate what he’s doing for the region.”
He added “If you see the dualisation of the Abuja–Kaduna, Zaria–Sokoto, and Ilela–Badagry expressways, you will agree with me that the North is experiencing key projects it never had in the past, even when a northerner was president.”
It was reported and revealed by the National Coordinator of the Obi Movement that an attack occurred at the movement against Peter Obi in Edo State.
He stated that the armed people had guns and shot at Peter Obi and his members of the movement.
“At the formal declaration of Olumide Akpata into the African Democratic Congress, armed individuals followed us from the ADC Secretariat to the residence of Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.
They shot at the gate and destroyed several vehicles in what appears to be a survived assassination attempt on our lives. Democracy is in danger.”
