  1. Of course he does…..not that he’d actually abide any sort of ceasefire anyway.

  4. If he wanted peace he wouldn’t have invaded. It’s pretty simple

  5. Another poster on another post recommended piling arms into Poland and Germany and the minute Putin refuses, give it all to Ukraine. The best thing that could happen to Russia would be for Ukraine to teach Russia’s people about freedom and self governance and have the Russian people revolt and build their own self-governing Democracy or Republic.

  8. Okay, then Ukraine should blow up 2 oil refineries this week instead of the typical 1. Let’s see how it goes after that. Maybe try 3?

  9. More on this subject from other reputable sources:

  12. The Russian war machine needs to hum or the economy is obliterated. So, no land gains, but the money is being torched, and you still have to pay the army. No one is going home.

  14. “If they say no, then obviously we’ll have to examine everything and sort of figure out where we stand in the world and what their true intentions are,” he said, noting that “there is no military solution to this conflict”.

    In other words: we’ll have to further appease them.

  15. Why would he accept a ceasefire deal when he’s the aggressor, he can stop fighting whenever he wants

  16. Yeah this is not going to go well for Putin. I don’t trust any of them.

  17. I think Putin’s just posturing. He doesn’t want to seem eager to have a ceasefire since that would give the impression that Russia wasn’t doing fabulous in the war. Russia can fight Ukraine without a break. Russia isn’t even tired.

    But my gut feeling is that Putin would very much like a break. He can resupply and reinforce his positions without harassment by Ukraine’s drones. He might not be able to gain ground during the pause but he can have everything prepared for a fresh push once the ceasefire ends. A ceasefire gives him a better chance of taking new ground.

  18. He needs to keep the war going to prevent the russian economy from sinking further.

  19. Personally I think this is bluster, he’ll accept, blame Ukraine for breaking it and go again.

  20. Honestly think his biggest concern is his political position collapsing if he’s forced to admit to Russia that he failed in his war aims. Between that and the sheer economic, military and diplomatic damage he has done to Russia its very possible he’ll lose control, particularly in the areas with active independence movements.

    Highly aggressive governments frequently collapse in the aftermath of failed invasions, its far from impossible.

  21. & who remembers when the Russian delegation tried poisoning the ukrainian delegation during negotiations in belarus back in 22

  23. There is no Putin. Zelenskyy thinks he’s dead and it’s his body double we see.

    But there is a Putin Administration.

    Here’s the thing – Putin is like Trump. He’s a fearsome figure to the Russian people, but if there was no Putin, the people would move in, because faceless Oligarchs don’t command that same fear. As for us, how scared would you be of Russia if you found out you were supposed to be scared of Medevedev plus a bunch of incompetent Oligarchs and Generals all this time?

    Additionally, Putin is incredibly paranoid. He’s the only one who knew the launch codes. It’s highly unlikely he’d ever hand them over to anybody, short of on his deathbed, and I mean REALLY on his deathbed, since we still aren’t clear on who his successor would be, but we can’t be sure. Yeah, again probably Medvedev but who the fuck’s scared of him?

    Seriously, Putin LIKED him because he had no ambition.

    No nukes, no Russia.

  26. He also finds reality hard to accept. The reality is that his war was and is a shitty idea in the first place.

  27. Next ceasfire deal incoming from Putin and Trump be like: Ukraine not allowed to fight, but Russia can continue to do what they want.

  28. “If they say no, then obviously we’ll have to examine everything and sort of figure out where we stand in the world and what their true intentions are,” he said, noting that “there is no military solution to this conflict”.

    Jesus. At this rate, it may take the current US administration 50 years to figure out that the earth may in fact not be flat

  29. I’m not sure if Putin has heard this or not, but he’s supposed to be easier to work with.

  30. The ru economy is totally leaning on the war machine. Keep going they are screwed, stopping also screwed.
