In an interview with MSNBC, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken addressed the prospects of a ceasefire in Ukraine and expressed support for Kyiv ahead of Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration. Blinken highlighted the need for Ukraine to make fundamental decisions about continuing to fight or negotiating peace, while ensuring they are well-positioned in potential negotiations. He emphasized that any ceasefire must include guarantees that Russia would not regroup for future attacks. The comments come as Trump advocates for a swift peace deal and the involvement of European troops in monitoring a ceasefire.
