Putin's alternative agreement will create the conditions for restoring combat operations at Russian positions - ISW

To spread: Analysts believe that the alternative conditions of Putin will begin to disarm Ukraine, and Russia will allow to accumulate resources and hit with new power. During his briefing, Russian President Vladimir Putin reported that he supported the idea of ​​completion of the war on March 13, but has a number of issues on a probable truce on the battlefield, including the use of a pause for the re -equipment and training of fighters.

Analysts believe that in this way, the Kremlin's chairman offers the United States an "alternative agreement" designed to strengthen the Russian Federation and restore combat with new power. About it writes the American Institute for the Study of War in its review for March 13. "Putin's ceasefire agreement will give Russia very disproportionate advantages and establish the conditions for the Kremlin's restoration of fighting on extremely favorable conditions for the Kremlin," the statement said.

Analysts emphasize that in their proposal for a truce, Vladimir Putin does not say a word that, together with Ukraine, the Russian army should not be re -armed as well as suspending mobilization or conducting training of servicemen. "Such a ceasefire agreement will disarm Ukraine if it continues for a long period," experts say.

The Institute of War Study also believes that the Kremlin chairman holds an agreement on the ceasefire "hostage", trying to achieve the previously favorable concessions for him from Donald Trump. As before, he is still not interested in conducting honest negotiations on just peace, analysts say. Such conclusions confirm the preliminary assumptions of the Institute for the Study of the War that Putin is not ready for any material compromises.

The Ukrainian side is skeptical of Vladimir Putin's proposals, as well as his words that he approves of peace. In his evening address, President Zelensky stated that Putin actually demonstrated his position during a briefing: he prepares a refusal for the United States for a temporary truce for 30 days. The Armed Forces servicemen also skeptically consider Russia's readiness to terminate the fighting.

Yes, Lieutenant Colonel of the Armed Forces Maxim Zhorin declared on March 13 that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation was not ready to stop the fire even for a while. The extorter of the staff of the 12th Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine "Azov" Bogdan "Tavr" Krotevich also said that he opposed the conclusion of the truce. We will remind, earlier Focus found out what game Vladimir Putin is spent on an agreement on a 30-day truce.
