    Translation: “we’re dangerously low on supplies in a bunch of areas and we need to rush some logistics in without Ukraine blowing them up”

    I genuinely do hope Zelenskyy completely ignores this unilaterally-declared truce

      I’m sure they have ammo, it’s just an attempt to look humane. Posturing. Breaks are a good thing though, and as long as they don’t use that opportunity to resupply or gain territory as you have suggested, which I agree would be the likely outcome if accepted.
