in World News Putin Outlines the Conditions for a Ceasefire
By M Dowling
Putin outlined his plans for a ceasefire. He demands Ukraine withdraw troops from Donetsk, Kherson, Zaporizhia, and Luhansk. They must formally abolish plans to join NATO.
It doesn’t sound hopeful. I don’t know if this is reasonable, but Zelensky won’t accept it. He still thinks he can get Crimea back, and the only way to do that is to get NATO involved. That cannot happen.
