Russian President Vladimir Putin promised Friday to "immediately" order a ceasefire in Ukraine and start negotiations if Kyiv began withdrawing troops from the four regions annexed by Moscow in 2022 and renounced plans to join NATO. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejected what he called an ultimatum by Putin to surrender more territory.
Ukraine’s Kharkov counteroffensive fizzled. Ukraine’s counteroffensive from last year has lost almost all territorial gains (and then some). In what world does Ukraine stand a chance of reclaiming their lost territories?
The peak of that was during the disastrous offensive Ukraine tried doing last year, and it’s been dwindling rapidly ever since. Even western media now admits that the west lacks the industrial capacity needed to fight a war of attrition on this scale.
Russia could take all of Ukraine rapidly if they began using Western-style bombing campaigns. Every day they make the decision that the status quo of slowly destroying UA’s military capabilities and building infrastructure in the Donbas is more appealing.
I am hopeful that a peace deal can be made before the Western style bombing campaign strategy becomes more favorable.
