Summary
Vladimir Putin responded to Ukraine’s US-backed ceasefire proposal by imposing strict conditions, including a halt to Kyiv’s military aid and mobilization, while continuing Russia’s own rearmament.
His calculated stance prolongs negotiations without outright rejecting Donald Trump’s initiative, which seeks to end the war while pressuring Ukraine.
Putin also demands Ukraine’s demilitarization, exclusion from NATO, and recognition of Russian territorial claims.
Trump, with limited leverage, may shift toward aligning with Putin’s terms. Meanwhile, Ukraine fears the ceasefire could allow Russia to regroup and intensify its offensive.
It means the support will dwindle away.
Thats an opinion, it has no value.
As much as yours…
Which one is my opinion? That support will not end when Russia wants it? Europe and America will look foolish and weak if they do that. I don’t think they can allow this to happen. Yes, that’s my opinion.
Don’t be disingenuous, it was never about the support stopping when Russia wants it.
It’s about whether the support provided by the West will dwindle away or not.
The U.S. will have no problem to dramatically reduce support for Ukraine. European countries won’t make up the difference.
