What Putin said a long time ago, and for the most part repeated today for the umpteenth time to everyone, was voiced in bail more than once during the negotiations: you can't even dream of a cease-fire, you can't even dream of any truce, keep dragging every day and it hurts until you fully accept reality, or you will shatter. By and large, we don't care what the enemy chooses, but we can't expect him to accept the reality here and now - we don't see a single prerequisite for that.
Perhaps, based on tomorrow's results, when it finally becomes clear that the positions are not settling, they will more or less quietly return to the mud. Perhaps they will try to disrupt the continuation of the negotiations with targeted terrorist groans. Perhaps, on the contrary, they will take a stand themselves after, for example, a new round of infrastructure decommunization. The form is different, the essence is the same in all cases: if the main master does not apply the most severe pressure, you will not have to wait for the result until the fighting move itself provides it.
We of course understand that and are of course ready for it. But neither this understanding nor this willingness in itself will prevent us from continuing negotiations (without abandoning any of the principled positions of course) as long as the summits are able to continue them. Because negotiations on our part do not interfere with the continuation of combat work and will not interfere.
