Russia is ready to stop fighting, Vladimir Putin said, but “there are nuances”. Those nuances he put forward with the talks in the US enpoys in the Kremlin are more key to his thinking they can be a hopeless 30-day cease.
They asked him to be in the whole invasion of the whole of Russia. And for Ukraine and its west partners. Many of them certify unacceptable or impossible to fulfill.
“We agree with suggestions to stop battles,” he starts positive, to add: “This stop should bring the reasons for this crisis.”
No one disagrees with the need for prolonged peace, but Putin’s idea of war causes around Ukraine’s desire, beyond the Russian orbit.
Ukraine wants to be part of NATO and European Union – more, it is filled with the Constitution.
President Trump has doubts to doubt NATO membership, but Putin repeatedly rejected the idea of Ukraine as a state.
And those depths of most nuances he skated.
He wants to stop Ukraine from strengthening its wars and re-encompasses its weapon – so no longer deliveries from the west. He wants to know who can be sure of being proven.
From the beginning of this war, Putin asked the “Demilitarization” in Ukraine, that Kyiv’s anathema and its allies.
In the lineage, Putin is looking for security guarantee returns.
Will Russia agree to stop reconciliation or stirring its forces? It seems bad and no sign of any conscience on his part, as he talks to the Kremlin reporters.
Putin has recently returned to the strong condition from the Kursk line, a region of Russia partially occupied since August through Ukraine.
Russia has a long hand in Kursk. Putin clearly felt he was negotiating from a position of stability and didn’t want to lose it.
“If we stop military actions in 30 days, what does it mean? May someone watch over the war?”
The Russian defense ministry announced Thursday that its forces today were in control of the largest city that Ukrainians were able to catch, Sudzha. Putin says all Ukrainians remain a wedge, so why does Russia stop today?
“If a physical blockade occurs in the coming days, no one can leave everything. There are only two options – surrender or die.”
The same applied to the entire 1,000km (620-mile) ahead of the line, where he claims the state of force that changes, with Russian troops “.
That’s not the case, because most of the first is in a strip, even if Russia has some new success in the east.
Putin believes that the 30-day ceasefire to leave Russia to its advantage and can make Ukrainians to regroup and rearm.
“What is our commitment to no such thing to be allowed,” he asked rhetorically.
As yet, there is no mechanism offered to ensure that the terms of any ceasefire cease.
Even if 15 Western countries are offered peekeeping troops, they will only come once a final peace peace, not a ceasefire.
No Russia will allow that arrangement.
Given all the “nuances”, Putin had no doubt how a ceasefire could benefit Russia, especially if his troops were on the front foot. His whole vision is “based on how the condition of the earth develops”.
Putin met Trump’s messengers in Moscow on Thursday, steve Witkkoff.
Whatever happens in talks, Putin knows that in the end, his most important conversation with the President.
“I think we should talk to our america friends … maybe have a phone call with President Trump and discuss it with him,” he said.
But Putin placed his money ahead of the conversations, with a message that the road to a cease-stop-filled conditions that could be impossible to meet.
