Maybe the Russia spring offensive is starting. So far, not enough to be "sure" if this is the "real thing". If it is, it seems any kind of "cease fire" is off the table, at least for several months. We will now get to see what the European allies can do to "beef up" Ukraine's ability to defeat "meat attacks". So far, there really hasn't been an effective answer to that question.

Quote:ISW continues to assess that Putin has no interest in ending the war and intends to continue fighting until he accomplishes his objectives in Ukraine, which are the toppling of the current Ukrainian government and the categorical destruction of the Ukrainian military.[37]ODNI apparently thinks similarly. ISW isn't infallible, but they seem to think Putin doesn't intend to sign any ceasefires. World events, such as the drop in oil prices and the possibility of the US applying secondary tariffs to buyers of Russian oil might compel Putin to act otherwise, but I wouldn't count on it.
