What would bring Vladimir Putin to a ceasefire deal with Ukraine?

Vladimir Putin has said Russia agrees to an end to fighting in Ukraine, but "lots of questions" remain over proposals for a 30-day ceasefire.

The Russian president set out his terms for a ceasefire deal with Ukraine as he said his troops were making progress on the battlefield.

So they thought Russia would just fold

[sycapitan]

Everyone and his dog knows what Russia's _minimum_ conditions for a ceasefire are.
They were stated last July.
Essentially the same as the April 2022 deal that Boris Johnson kyboshed plus the _entirety_ of the five regions being internationally recognised as Russia.

But if more regions are taken then the price goes up.

Would yukraine agree to ceasefire if it was "winning"?

[jamieswithenbank]

To be fair, Lukashenko's visit was scheduled for weeks - and he is the President of a foreign, friendly, country. Steve, might be important, but diplomatic etiquette demands that a scheduled President be given priority, over a lesser diplomat, who scheduled their visit much more recently...

It's very simple, read the ultimatum he sent to Biden 1 month before the special operation.

[LavishTrotter]

These were the same terms used in 2022 when ukrain still had their land and they said no.

People claiming to be Christian screaming for more war...

Well what has bought the west to any ceasefire when invading other countries

If the U.S. makes even the slightest concession to Russian expansionism in an effort to achieve peace with ease, China, which is currently pushing for similar expansionism, will gain absolute confidence and no one will be able to stop it. If East Asia were to enter China's sphere of influence, there is no doubt that the American people would be forced to pay not just the $350 billion invested in Ukraine, but an even larger amount of taxpayer money, a whopping $30 trillion, to protect Hawaii and the West Coast from the threat of a powerful and unleashed Chinese military.

[Eryrwen]

Biased, condescending and inadequate.

[dissonantiacognitiva]

Putin did issue a statement, no ceasefire until a deal is finalized
Last time the ceasefires were used to allow the Ukrainian army to rearn and regroup
So he won't agree to pause to give time for a deal

[MrHarding]

He hasnt agreed to crap, his terms are basically surrender

[feudorfraud]

59% of Ukraine, the former parts of Russia that was given to Ukraine

[Question]

Way Ukraine is don’t respect Minsk agreement now is paying the price

[natalialicenko]

US Presidential Special Envoy Steve Witkoff will not be a mediator in negotiations with Russia, Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov said. "The US has identified a mediator in negotiations with Russia - it is not Steve Witkoff, " Ushakov said in an interview with the Zvezda TV channel.

All the power play was taking place in the EU for these past 3 years. Even his Majesty The King of England got roped into the EUs power-play!

[noelsloan]

It's simple Russia has won so its their terms simple get on with it

[ErwinSengers-np]

I felt a renewed sense of the historic ties between America, Europe, and our Eastern neighbors, and I'm proud to be a part of this partnership. The direction we need to move in, and the role we must play, is crystal clear to me, and it gives hope for the many generations to come. I will act accordingly.

What would bring Vladimir Putin to a ceasefire deal with Ukraine?
Completion of SMO with regime change in Kyiv, returning it back to being Kiev.

Many people here say that one side is solely responsible for the conflict. But let’s consider a hypothetical situation: imagine that in countries neighboring the United States, Americans start facing severe discrimination, their culture is suppressed, and they are placed in increasingly unsafe conditions, forcing them to flee their homes and relocate to small towns. These towns are then subjected to daily shelling, while hostile military forces surround them. At the same time, these neighboring countries begin to strengthen ties with America’s geopolitical rivals, hosting their military bases and weapons. With Russia, North Korea and China in particular. How long would the U.S. tolerate such a situation?

This thought experiment highlights that complex conflicts rarely have a simple, one-sided truth. Any country in such a position would respond in some way. It’s crucial to understand the causes and consequences rather than reducing everything to a black-and-white perspective.
