Putin's Ceasefire Rejections: A Strategic Calculation or Lack of Interest in Peace?

The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has raised many questions, particularly regarding Russia's consistent refusal of ceasefire proposals. A recent video analysis sheds light on potential reasons behind Putin's strategy. Retired US General Jack Keane, in an interview with Fox Business, suggested Putin's rejections are not simply about a lack of interest in peace, but rather a calculated attempt to weaken Ukraine before engaging in serious negotiations. Keane argues that Putin is using the conflict to achieve long-term goals, while simultaneously avoiding the economic consequences of international sanctions. The video also highlights the comments made by Donald Trump, who has expressed strong opinions on the situation, adding another layer of complexity to the ongoing conflict. The situation underscores the need for careful analysis and nuanced understanding of the geopolitical forces at play in Ukraine.
