For a very good reason, if Russia (ie Putin) were to agree to a ceasefire, how does he present that to the Russian people. After all didn’t he claim that Ukraine was under ‘Nazi leadership’ and it was imperative that Zelensky et. al. be removed, to ‘free’ the Ukrainian people from tyranny?
So a ceasefire; fine, but Putin has to answer the obvious questions; you haven’t managed a regime change - the supposedly Nazi regime is still in charge, you have somewhere around a million dead Russians, you’ve gained, at best a few hundred kilometres of land!
Sorry where is the success here?
Putin can’t end this war, note that I say Putin, not Russia, Putin can't end the war because that will be his lot.
Alas a large number of Russian and Ukrainian people are going to die just to satisfy one person’s ego.
