The Ruskies are notorious for fake negotiating while still fighting.
That's fine as long as the other side -ie. Ukraine- does not let up one iota- during the ruse. Putin will make no decision about what he will accept until he sees how things play out on the ground and he needs another ten days or so for that. Some will argue that Russian troops are not advancing all that much in the north, but that is nothing new to Putin. Where his troops do not advance, his artillery against civilians does. Then he sees what he has gotten out of scorched earth. He needs more time on that. Keep piling the supplies in to Ukraine even if a ceasefire is called. And if one is not called. Just do not let up by even a pubic hair based on anything a russian pig says or just because you are talking.
