State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said Monday that "the ball is now in Russia's court" to accept a U.S.-proposed ceasefire deal that Ukraine agreed to last week.
While a ceasefire appears imminent, Russia and Ukraine still need to resolve key disagreements before finalizing the deal.

Trump has also signaled that control of certain land and power plants in Ukraine would also be part of the negotiations.
