Ryan Bridge: Trump's peace deal has hit the Kremlin wall

There's no such thing as a ceasefire this morning. 

It's all breaking down in the Middle East. Netanyahu's come out with more fighting talk and the rockets are back on. 

And for Ukraine, Trump hasn't exactly cloaked himself in glory with this so-called deal. 

And I say so-called deal because it hasn't actually held. 

First, it was only partial. There wasn't a full ceasefire like Zelensky agreed to. 

Second, it covered energy infrastructure not being hit for a 30 day pause. But already the Russians have fired at energy facilities, roads, and two hospitals. 

Now, if you go and have a look at the read-out from the call between Trump and Putin it says Putin gave the order to his top brass to immediately stop the firing on this energy infrastructure. 

So, either the military is going rogue and firing anyway, or Putin's up to his old tricks. 

Actually, both of things could be happening. Hell, with Russia they both could be true. 

But either way, for Trump and the big game he likes to talk, the art of the deal has just hit the Kremlin wall. 

In Trump's favour, reputation-wise, is at least people are talking about peace. 

We've just had three years of war and whenever world leaders meet it's always talk about more, more and more war. 

A ceasefire, an armistice and a peace deal all require action. 

At least the phones are ringing.
