You missed something obvious. No-one calls for a ceasefire when they are winning. This is Putin telling the world 'I am losing. I gambled on 3 days to Kiev. Now I am bleeding out. Please give me time to get my breath back'. Lets refer Winston Churchill. This is not the end. This is not the beginning of the end. This is the end of the beginning. Now the Orc killing starts. Give Ukraine the weapons, it has the will, the motivation, the injury to be repared. Not repaired, repared like in reparation. Orcs will pay, and they will pay for generations. The sins of the father...

yeah. actually, i thought practicing philosopher volodymyr pastukhov pointed this out clearly:

"The problem is not that Putin has formulated impossible conditions for a ceasefire, but that he has said them out loud. Now any deviation from them is a relative defeat. This means more "hardcore" is in store. And, in this case, negotiations will turn out to be just another scam for Western suckers. "

Day 843 -- "...any deviation from them is a relative defeat"
