Putin’s sought ceasefire would mean Russia would keep the territories it illegally occupies in Ukraine, where the population is subject to abductions and summary executions. Ukraine laid out its 10-point “peace formula” in November 2022. One of the key points as a precondition for starting peace talks is the full withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukrainian territory.
This is bullshit meant to exhaust other leaders, it shows Putin who is open to a peace deal and helps keep the talking point open.
Fact is Russia failed in their offensive also, are going to see half a million dead most likely and after 9 years they occupy less than 20% of the country.
Fuck Russia, appeasement fails.
