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.
Pick one: Russia is running on fumes, or Russia should have won a year ago.
The coherent opinion here is that it’s a slow, grinding war and the side that has lost more and more territory as it continued will continue to do so.
