The extraordinary demands of the Russian leader to weaken Ukraine would make a mockery of any peace deal

      Exactly. He’s serious about wasting everyone’s time and distracting from his attacks on Ukraine’s infrastructure. He’s serious about flattering Trump with delusions of grandeur about a 19th century gilded age of “spheres of influence” so that the US abandons Ukraine.

      Putin still has a lot to worry about though. The European sleeping dragon is getting restless.

    Putin isn’t going to stop until he rebuilds the Russian Empire

    That is well beyond after Ukraine, so a ceasefire is genuinely laughable to Putin
