Russian President Vladimir Putin may be open to a cease-fire in his war with Ukraine, so long as the country could still declare victory, a new report by the New York Times found.

Putin, still confident in his forces, said that Russia’s goals have not changed. In his annual year-end press conference last week, Putin warned that there would be no peace solution in Ukraine until Russia achieves its overarching goals, the “denazification” and demilitarization of Ukraine.

Putin’s message might be different now, as he has reportedly signaled he is ready to make a deal. Since September, Putin has signaled that he is open to a pause in fighting along the current lines, which is much shorter than his intention to dominate Ukraine, according to the Times who cited two former senior Russian officials.

According to the United Nations, more than 10,000 civilians have been killed and 18,500 have been injured since the start of the war nearly two years ago.

I am from Russia and i am frustrated with how stupid and misleading this news is.

Presidency is ending soon and Putin need to go through the voting.

Everyone knows it's a circus with clowns yet Putin need to convince everyone he will be legit president. For the fifth time, after rewriting constitution, hahaha

Also Putin need a timeout to make weapons and train new army. While there is "unlimited" supply of bodies he can throw to die at Ukraine, it's already costs him some money and gives idk how much payoffs. Just assume not much, cuz i haven't heard anything about war in the country.

But i shouldn't be taken as a reliable source of information from here. I can't stand watching russian propaganda tv

Yeah, pretty much my takeaway. It’s just a tactic. Delay, regroup, bullshit election, then more “denazification” (Christ on a shitstick).

Sorry, bro, but you’re fucked. I don’t think Russia comes out of this thing in anything resembling a decent, stable, thriving country. Putin fucked you, no lube. Demographic realities imply that your population will continue to shrink for generations to come.

I'm really sorry you have to live under those conditions. I can understand how maddening that must be. Hopefully Lemmy has been able to help you see past the Russian propaganda machine.

А я считаю "плохой мир лучше хорошей войны", так что пусть лучше хоть какое то перемирие

It's not a bad peace, it's a chance for Putin to rebuild his army and try again. He's also hoping for a Trump win. So no.
