Ceasefire ...Coming12 Mar 2022 21:16
I think Putin needs to save face. The war has gone badly for him and he needs to cut his losses. He is making all the noises (talking tough) before a ceasefire is announced. And ultimately he gets what he wants (or at least most) through negotiations now the west knows he is serious. And Ukraine knows the West will not ride to their rescue. Cos even the west doesn't want this war. Prices are rising and that usually means a change in governments come elections.
Covid, inflation and Rising energy prices - the masses can only take so much.
