I’d actually go one step further: even if I hear Putin say that I won’t believe it.
Putin has already said that he wants a ceasefire.
But on his terms.
And Ukraine will not accept them.
“Diplomacy – I could give you several examples – only works after the ground has been prepared, so to speak.
If an opposing partner has the goal of waging war, then diplomacy is of no use.”
This is what John C. Kornblum said when the calls in Germany became louder and louder to negotiate with Vladimir Putin instead of continuing to supply weapons to Ukraine.
John C. Kornblum, former US ambassador to Germany, died on December 21, 2023.

If Putin wants a ceasefire, it can be arranged quite simply by Putin himself:
Order his troops to cease fire and retreat to pre-2014 Russian borders.
Voila, ceasefire achieved!
The problem is that Putin’s too stupid to understand the difference between a cease fire and capitulation.
Putin means the same thing as Hamas: you cease, we fire.
Ukraine can and should never accept a cease fire. And we common people want the stolen land back to Ukraine as a minimum!!
You should not believe it, until visual confirmation of a withdrawal from a neutral source.
Russian signatures are worthless.
