I'm pretty sure the Ukrainians will cease firing once the Russians leave their country and stop trying to murder them.

If you believe this, then you're completely ignorant of the events that led to this war in the first place.

Here's a question nobody has been able to answer for me yet.

Why would Russia abandon a 2 year long military operation they're winning.

Literally just because a bunch of American libs said they should online?

All reports are pointing to it not being the russians that would benefit from a ceasefire.

Sure, as long as the US permits them to accept a ceasefire.

Because no fighting was happening in Ukraine before the Russians entered the country, right? The war just fell out of a coconut tree?

Ukraine should leave Donbas because they're clearly not wanted there.

Aren't Ukrainian drones attacking Russian civilian targets now?

That’s really bizarre because why does America have a say in Russo-Ukrainian affairs? Shouldn’t a ceasefire be determined by the two parties not currently at a ceasefire?

Somebody who is good at geopolitics explain

Yeah why is it that also other western leaders like johnson visit ukraine and suddenly peace talks stop? https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/05/5/7344206/ Why are they encouraging a war where Ukraine would depend on even more western military and economic aid?

Somebody who navigates all this please help us understand

Ukraine is a US puppet

Don't know why the United States would have any say in Putin pulling the Russian paramilitary out of Ukraine. Ceasefire is simple, back your ass out of Ukraine, back to 2013 borders.

They (the US) don't, and they acknowledge that.

In the interview with fucker carlson, Putin said that Ukraine is a vassal of the US and Russia does not negotiate with Ukraine as it's useless, they want to only negotiate with the puppet master.

Hence the offer, hence the rejection. It's geopolitical theatre.

oh for fucks sake, putins russia has never once 'negotiated' in good faith. they just use it to buy time to resupply and relocate. every peace deal theyve made, THEY broke. ukraine gets to decide when it's time to talk. the US cant stop them
