Ukraine began to accept that it would not regain its lost territories after the
Zelenskyy said on X on Sunday morning that it was a “positive sign that the Russians have finally begun to consider ending the war,” but insisted on a ceasefire first.Putin and Zelenskyy have only met once — in 2019. After repeated unsuccessful calls for a personal meeting with the Russian leader early on in the war, and following the Kremlin’s decision in September 2022 to illegally annex four regions of Ukraine, Zelenskyy enacted a decree declaring that holding negotiations with Putin had become impossible.
Macron said Sunday that Putin’s offer of direct negotiations with Ukraine is “a first step, but not enough,” signaling continued Western skepticism toward Moscow’s intentions.“An unconditional ceasefire is not preceded by negotiations,” Macron told reporters at the Polish-Ukrainian border, according to French media, adding that Putin is “looking for a way out, but he still wants to buy time.”Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, in comments aired by Russian state TV on Sunday, called Putin’s proposal “very serious,” aimed at eliminating “the root causes of the conflict,” and said it “confirms a real intention to find a peaceful solution.”
Without directly mentioning Moscow’s proposal, Trump said in a social media post several hours after Putin’s overnight remarks that it was “a potentially great day for Russia and Ukraine!”“Think of the hundreds of thousands of lives that will be saved as this never ending ‘bloodbath’ hopefully comes to an end,” Trump wrote. “I will continue to work with both sides to make sure that it happens. The USA wants to focus, instead, on Rebuilding and Trade. A BIG week upcoming!” he added.
In another post on Sunday, the U.S. president said Ukraine should accept Putin’s offer “to meet on Thursday, in Turkey, to negotiate a possible end to the BLOODBATH.” He added, however, that he was “starting to doubt that Ukraine will make a deal with Putin.”
Putin spoke Sunday to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who expressed readiness to host the talks, the Kremlin said.Emory Healthcare, que gestiona el hospital, no ha explicado cómo los médicos decidieron mantener a Smith con soporte vital, excepto para explicar en un comunicado que se consideraron “las leyes sobre el aborto de Georgia y todas las demás leyes aplicables”.
En 2019, el estado adoptó una normativa para prohibir el aborto una vez que se pueda detectar actividad cardíaca, aproximadamente seis semanas después del embarazo, que entró en vigor tras la anulación de Roe contra Wade.Esa ley no aborda explícitamente la situación de Smith, pero permite la interrupción del embarazo para preservar la vida o la salud física de la mujer. Otros tres estados tienen prohibiciones similares que se aplican a partir de entre las seis y 12 semanas y prohíben el aborto en todas las etapas de la gestación.
David S. Cohen, profesor de la Facultad de Derecho Thomas R. Kline de la Universidad de Drexel en Filadelfia, dijo que el hospital podría estar más preocupado por parte de la ley que otorga al feto derechos legales como “miembro de la especie Homo sapiens”.Según Cohen, esto podría llevar al centro a considerar a Smith y al feto como dos pacientes y que, una vez que Smith estaba con soporte vital, tenían la obligación legal de mantener al feto con vida, incluso después de la muerte de la madre.
