1. > Putin is likely to agree to agree to ceasefire proposal with Ukraine — Bloomberg

   > However, he will try to stall the process, aiming to have his own conditions met — one of them being a demand to a halt to arms supplies to Ukraine.

   > Trump: “We are going to know very soon. I’ve gotten some positive messages, but a positive message alone means nothing”.

2. “The 2014 Minsk agreement was an attempt to give Ukraine time. It also used this time to become stronger, as you can see today.”

   Good luck on getting Russia to agree to a clean peace treaty or ceasefire. There is no way they accept anything less than demilitarization of Ukraine

3. That’s how negotiations work right? One side puts forward a suggestion and then another side counters it? This seems to be a bit of momentum building and that is a good thing if it leads to any kind of ceasefire.

   You don’t have to be a geopolitical or military genius to know that Putin was never going to accept the ceasefire which Ukraine accepted the other day… simply because Russia has the upper hand in every aspect.

   It’s a tough pill to swallow but the country that ‘wins’ the war usually gets to have more say in the terms.
