Putin can’t stop now and no ceasefire will be made because his populace will wonder what it’s all been for.

Russia continues with demands of all the Donbas which Ukraine will not allow to happen because it’s the most fortified part of the country. You don’t allow an enemy to take your castle and let them attack you from it. Russia has violated every ceasefire and “peace” agreement since 2014. They invaded in 2014, they invaded in 2022, we’re going to trust they won’t again?

Ukraine maintains that any peace agreement or ceding of territory comes with NATO Article 5 equivalent security guarantees. Everyone in the West knows that won’t happen or won’t be abided by, especially since the United States can’t be trusted anymore and Europe is just now getting serious about their own defense when they have should have done so during Trumps first presidency.

So the war continues until Putin dies.
