Putin Seeks Ceasefire on His Terms, Ukraine Remains Skeptical
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The Russian-Ukrainian war has continued for years, with President Vladimir Putin refusing to yield to ceasefire pressures and instead intensifying operations in Ukraine. However, recent reports from Reuters suggest a shift. Four Russian sources indicated that Putin is ready to consider a negotiated ceasefire that recognizes the current battlefield lines, albeit on negotiated terms.

Sources Close to Putin

Three sources familiar with discussions within Putin’s inner circle noted his frustration with what he perceives as Western-backed efforts to block negotiations and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s refusal to engage in talks. They emphasized that Russia can continue the war but is open to negotiating a ceasefire. A senior Russian source stated, “Putin can fight for as long as it takes, but Putin is also ready for a ceasefire to freeze the war.”

Ukrainian Response

This purported readiness for negotiation is met with skepticism by Ukrainian officials. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba accused Putin of using his entourage to send misleading signals about his willingness to halt the war, aiming to disrupt a Ukrainian-initiated peace summit in Switzerland. Kuleba asserted that “Putin currently has no desire to end his aggression against Ukraine. Only the principled and united voice of the global majority can force him to choose peace over war.”

Swiss Peace Talks

The upcoming Swiss peace summit, scheduled for June, aims to unify international opinion on ending the war. Initiated by Zelenskiy, the talks have notably excluded Russia, which Moscow claims undermines the summit’s credibility. Putin has criticized the summit, suggesting Ukraine will use it to garner broader support for a total Russian withdrawal, a demand he views as an imposed condition rather than a legitimate peace negotiation.

International Reactions

A U.S. State Department spokesperson emphasized that any peace initiative must respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity and described Russia as the primary obstacle to peace. The spokesperson stated, “The Kremlin has yet to demonstrate any meaningful interest in ending its war, quite the opposite.”

Trust Issues and Ceasefire Concerns

Kyiv maintains that Putin, who previously denied plans for war before invading Ukraine in 2022, cannot be trusted to honor any agreement. Both Russia and Ukraine express concerns that the other side might use a ceasefire to re-arm.

Bottom Line

The potential for a negotiated ceasefire remains fraught with distrust and skepticism. While Putin’s reported willingness to negotiate offers a glimmer of hope, Ukrainian officials and international actors remain wary of his intentions. The upcoming Swiss peace summit and continued international pressure will be critical in determining whether a viable path to peace can be found.
