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.
Funny how he always purposes to end the war specifically when his arm is getting it’s teeth punched down its throat. But only if the give and take of negotiations is “Ukraine gives everything that Russia is trying to take.”
I don’t think that’s true. Putin is not serious about this proposal. He’s not trying to get out of this war or he would have negotiated something more acceptable
This is very acceptable to anyone rational. Russia can (and probably will) end up taking a lot more. Putin is not serious about this proposal only because he know the fascists in control of Ukraine’s military won’t accept it or any other peace offerings until every last Ukrainian other than themselves has been forcibly conscripted and killed.

Firstly what kind of analogy is that: whose arm has teeth? And secondly in what universe does Russia have the lower hand right now? Which side had a near-nothingburger of a counteroffensive and has been losing ground ever since?

Yes, the russian army has been losing the war for two years. That’s why Ukraine continues to advance backwards!
