Clearly, the 'ceasefire' is simply a delaying tactic and of course, part of the USNATO propaganda war against Russia. The US has never stopped supplying weapons and intelligence support to the Kiev regime, the long term objective of the Empire is, as it's always been, the military and strategic defeat of the Russian Federation.
Thank you for this analysis, Glenn, good info. I think the 30 day cease fire is a tactical move by President Trump to gain more support for stopping the war. Additionally, the at times tough rhetoric against Russia is an attempt to placate/appease war mongers in NATO (Starmer, Macron) who want to keep war going, and who have often accused Trump of being an apologist for Putin.
But yesterday Zelensky showed his true colors, indicating that he has no interest in stopping the war permanently. That is because Zelenskyy said that he will not agree to cede any land gained by Russia during the war, including Crimea. That is a position that everyone knows Russia will reject, including the United States. Ukraine is losing, they are in no position to dictate the terms. And the longer this war goes on, the more territory Ukraine will lose.
Many in the west have been spoon fed anti -Putin propaganda for decades by MSM, so as a result he is viewed negatively by many.
And when it comes to the Russia/Ukraine, war, Mainstream media in the West have mostly presented one side (the anti Russia side).
But there are two sides to every story, and in this case if we look at history and what has led to the current war between Russia and Ukraine, NATO is far from guiltless. Please read my perspective about it, and Apologies ahead of time for the lack of spacing in the column (tried to correct, but had no luck.).
The ground is drying out in the east, the east west axis of attack will be ripe for Russian Federation Springtime attacks and exploitation of those efforts. A retreating army begins to exponentially lose more and more to casualties and KIA. Suddenly the speed of the maneuver elements on the attack increases and everyone especially the pundits military and otherwise wring their hand and ask “How did this happen so quickly?” Whoops the RF is on the western side of the Dnieper River! Whoops southern region RF forces have sling shot themselves all the way to Odessa! At this point what is in the Russian Federation and Putin’s interests to settle anything? They can take their time and finish the job at a time of their choosing on their terms. When Trump and Vance sent Zelensky packing last month there was a brief hope that we would cut off the money and support and let Europe carry their own water. Guess not. The “negotiator’s” on the USA side have come home cap in hand. This will end, but not well. The window for any political victory for Trump is closing fast. That said, perhaps he can keep the dialog with Russia going. As Churchill opined, “more jaw jaw, less war war.”
No doubts. There will be no ceasefire. Not in the interests of Russia. The US led NATO has been playing games with Russia for 30 years. Now Russia is playing games with NATO. It’s payback time for NATO and it will be brutal….in Ukraine.
Remember just for one second the Minsk Agreements and the confessions of Merkel and Macron at the end of last year, that the only aim with these "agreements" was to gain time for strengthening - i.e. arming - Ukraina and for nothing more to understand, that no normal thinking human being would repeat the mistake to understand a 30 days ceasefire as anything else.
Nobody in the West should be pushing for a ceasefire.
The only way this stops (and I mean 'stops for good') is for a US-Russia treaty on a permanent INDIVISIBLE security.
Anything less than that will mean either a continuation of this war, or a recurrence of this war in the not very distant future, should any ceasefire ever materialise (which would only do so on Russia's terms anyway).
Agreeing to a ceasefire would be the biggest mistake Vladimir Putin ever makes as president. Restarting the conflict is going to be magnitudes more difficult than maintaining this one, and the West know that and this is what their proposed ceasefire is all about.
Nobody in the West should be pushing for temporary anythings. Yes you might look like a nice happyclappy liberal on social media, or at dinner parties, supposedly 'supporting' Ukraine, but in reality you are only multiplying Ukraine's living hell. The only solution for Ukraine is a permanent solution acceptable to Russia, which is a treaty on permanent INDIVISIBLE security.
Any attempt to use the ceasefire to land Western forces inside Ukraine will lead to tens of thousands of those forces getting repatriated in bodybags. And that's the best case scenario.
My two favorite analysts, by far. No one, even his own family apparently, can trust trump. Biden was the same, others. Yes, the United States of Corruption and Lies has a serious, serious credibility problem. Sad.
A PR stunt for the hapless plebs of western civilisation is what the global majority, who support Russia, will make of this. These are the people that really matter.

Much like the "ceasefires" in Lebanon and Gaza, the USA will just rush in new arms while their dogs continue to fight. . . .
Despicably dishonorable.

The West dictating terms like they’re not the ones getting their backsides handed to them.
Russia’s leaders are too smart for this. No way they bite.
The westerners now use the word “ceasefire” as a dupe. No one will ever believe them any more.

Onward it goes. One wonderful interviewee after the another.
Magnificent, Prof. Diesen, magnificent!!! 🙏🏻

Maybe this is the skit Mr. Freeman referred to? Not Monty Python though, but Fry and Laurie:
