He wants to wait until Trump is re-elected.
Well he can pay all the wages for Ukraine’s military to just sit there for a few months.
And he should also be making weekly payments to start reimbursing all the world’s countries who have given to Ukraine.
Typically reparations are paid after signing a treaty, a cease fire could be a step towards that.
Typically the weaker person needs to give some concessions to not get obliterated during a war that the weaker person started.
If an end of war with reparations was the goal, this is what Russia would request, not a ceasefire. A ceasefire is just a way to continue a war later with greater intensity.
Why would a defending military give the invading military a time out?
Putin started this whole mess all by himself.
Ukraine drops mobilization age by 2 years and suddenly gets big influx of new weapons.
Putin: Okay, how about a ceasefire?
Don’t forget, the F-16’s are due to start wreaking havoc on Russian AA very soon.
Yeah, and I’m sure the Kaiser’s Germans wanted a ceasefire on 1918 frontlines
