Fri Mar 21 14:06:07 UTC 2025: ## Partial Ceasefire in Ukraine Holds Despite Continued Attacks
**KYIV/MOSCOW** – Despite a landmark agreement brokered by the United States for a 30-day partial ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, targeting energy infrastructure remains a concern. This follows the first-ever agreement between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy to halt such attacks.
However, reports of ongoing strikes and drone attacks from both sides cast doubt on the ceasefire’s viability. In a discussion on UpFront, Redi Tlhabi explored these developments with former US Ambassador to Ukraine John Herbst and Dmitri Trenin of the Russian International Affairs Council. The conversation also examined the impact of the Trump administration’s foreign policy on US-Russia relations and its potential influence on the current conflict. The long-term prospects for a lasting peace remain uncertain amidst the ongoing hostilities.
