When President Donald Trump’s administration recently proposed a 30-day
ceasefire in Ukraine, Vladimir Putin’s response was calculated and
cagey as one might expect. He did not reject it outright – that would
have left him open to charges that he, not Zelensky, is the principal
impediment to peace – but he conditioned Russia’s acceptance of any
such ceasefire in a way that made those negotiations practically
impossible.

He insisted, for example, that any ceasefire must address what he
called the “root causes” of the war, insisted that Western nations
cease arming Ukraine, and made abundantly clear that Russia’s recent
territorial acquisitions were not on the negotiating table.

Putin did not table a counter-proposal as part of an iterated
negotiation that might lead to peace; he cleverly framed his response
in a way that was clearly calculated to buy time.

With his forces steadily pushing forward in Kursk and the Donbas, Putin
simply has no reason to accept a ceasefire now, especially if that
ceasefire would buy time for the Ukrainians to reconstitute, rearm and
dig in.

Не че няма известни неточности, но има още за четене :)

Дано пък Ивайло да наднича насам ;)

странно. А тук казват, че се е съгласил. Отделно тук на Путин се гледа
като на Хитлер.

А някой разправяше, че тук при нас ни лъжат медиите ;)

Явно е заразно :)
