Russia is considering declaring an "air truce" over Ukraine as a limited concession to U.S. President Donald Trump, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with Kremlin deliberations. The proposal would suspend Russian aerial strikes or establish no-strike zones while leaving ground operations largely unchanged. Moscow’s aim is to head off the threat of U.S. secondary sanctions that Trump has said he will impose if there is no progress toward ending the conflict. The president last week set an 8 August deadline and signaled he could penalize countries that continue to buy Russian oil, moves the Kremlin fears could deepen the economic toll of the war. Discussions in Moscow are still preliminary and no final decision has been made, according to the report. Ukraine has not publicly responded, and neither the Kremlin nor the White House immediately commented on the possibility of an aerial cease-fire.
