SUMMARY: Two months ago, the U.S. proposed a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine, accepted by Ukraine but rejected by Russia, which feared it would aid Ukraine and Western allies. Since then, Russian attacks, including missile and drone strikes, have targeted civilian areas along the front line, killing at least 117 civilians and wounding over 1,000 in long-range assaults.
