In reply to the discussion: Russia says it does not want a temporary ceasefire in Ukraine [View all]LetMyPeopleVote
(169,210 posts)1. Here are Putin's conditions for a cease-fire
https://www.ft.com/content/c169189c-4642-4037-b64f-9631ac61a7c7
Putin has demanded that Ukraine recognise Russias annexation of four partially occupied south-eastern regions and the Crimean peninsula, withdraw its troops from those areas and pledge to never join Nato as preconditions for the ceasefire.
Russia is also pushing for caps on Ukraines military, protections for Russian speakers in the country and fresh elections to replace President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
It has demanded an effective rollback of Natos eastward expansion since the cold war, which Putin has claimed forced him to order his invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

TOLD YA. If Ukraine survives this war somehow, it would domestically destroy the Putin-regime in Russia.

Ukraine's best and final offer should be: GTFO NOW and then pay us to rebuild our country.
