According to sources, Vladimir Putin is ready to "stop the war in Ukraine" and agree on a ceasefire on the current front line. At the same time, the dictator is able to continue fighting if Ukraine and the West do not respond to the Russian initiative.

Putin is confident that Russia's population is enough to maintain the number of personnel without the need for general mobilization. In particular, with the help of generous financial support.

The dictator also doubts the West's ability to help Ukraine.

Russia is not ready to leave the temporarily occupied territories

This writes Russian RBC.

"The transfer of new regions to Ukraine, which Russia has already included in its territory, that is, the LPR, DPR, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, is "out of the question", Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

According to Peskov's words, Putin is ready for negotiations, but this process should lead to "achieving the goals of the 'SMO'".
