**Russia Wants Western Arms to Stop During Proposed Truce**
The Kremlin wants all Western arms supplies to Ukraine to stop during a proposed 30-day truce. However, their main goal is to pause U.S. arms assistance.
According to Bloomberg, two undisclosed sources in Moscow confirmed that this condition remains unchanged. Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that Moscow will agree to a ceasefire if Ukraine stops receiving foreign arms and conscripts its forces.
**Concerns Over Vulnerability**
These conditions have raised concerns that Ukraine would be left vulnerable to renewed Russian offensives. Russia’s Armed Forces are not proposed to limit their military activities during the truce.
**Trump to Call Putin**
U.S. President Donald Trump is scheduled to call with Putin later today between 4 and 6 p.m. Moscow time. The two leaders will discuss the proposed ceasefire plan.
**U.S. Military Aid to Ukraine**
The U.S. temporarily halted military supplies for Ukraine earlier this month but restarted it after Kyiv agreed to the truce plan during talks in Jeddah on March 11. Trump has not approved any new packages, and his administration does not seek a prolonged U.S. engagement in Ukraine.
