Easter truce - what's next. What was Putin's idea and what to expect this week

However, it is not only propaganda. Everything is much more serious. In the West, and even some commentators in Russia, Putin's decision was immediately linked to the threat of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and then Trump himself, that the United States will leave the negotiation process, unless there is a progress in peace talks. And that's really. Putin does not want Trump to break out of the negotiating hook. And so he once again sells Trump to simulate his willingness to cease fire.

Like, you wanted a ceasefire by April 20, I give you it. Such a symbolic gift of Putin Trump for a symbolic date - three months of Trump's presidency. Everything is clearly calculated. The Putin massage of erogenous zones of Trump "ego" ("ego") continues. In parallel, the Kremlin demonstrates that it is allegedly ready to stop the fire. In this case, Putin is also a thin trolling position. The US and Ukraine offered a ceasefire for 30 days, and the Russian dictator offers a truce for 30 hours.

It is a new creative of the Kremlin after a step -by -step ceasefire. Putin continues to "drive a goat" of readiness for peace talks. But the main purpose of this "peacekeeping action" is another - to substitute Ukraine, to present Trump that Putin wants peace, and Zelensky - against. That is why the so -called "truce" was announced at 4:45 pm, but from 18:00. At the same time, Kyiv was urged to do the same. That is, the ceasefire had to begin a little more than an hour.

It is clear that in Kiev they had to evaluate the situation, to make a decision. And in case of ceasefire consent to give appropriate orders. Obviously, there could be no instant response, and even more so - a direct consent to the Putin action. And it is unlikely that within an hour it is possible to stop the fighting immediately if they have already begun. This is what the calculation was made.

I am not saying that both warring parties should be agreed in advance about the real ceasefire and the date and hour of the ceasefire. The Kremlin was clearly calculated that if the fighting, in particular on the part of the Ukrainian side, will continue after 18:00, it is Ukraine that will be accused of breach of this "truce".

And that is significant, announcing the so -called "truce", Putin warned that "the army of the Russian Federation is ready to be ready for the excellence of the Easter Pricerya with Kiev", and emphasized that "Kyiv is more than a luxury. That is, allegedly violations of the "Easter Truce" by Ukraine were announced by Putin in advance. Some commentators in the West, and even in Russia, pointed out that this whole performance with the Easter Territion is designed for one viewer - Trump.

I will add that some other viewers around Trump seem to know about the specific moment of starting this performance. That is, they were clearly in the topic. Here is a specific example - US Vice Squid Jay Vation on Friday (April 18) that "even in the last 24 hours, we believe that we have some interesting things we can report. " This is the danger.

Some people surrounded by Trump can serve Putin's treacherous tricks with alleged "truce" for the real desire for peace, and at the same time blame Ukraine allegedly violating this "truce". That is why in the current negotiation conditions, Ukraine could not simply reject this Putin performance. We could not just agree to the Putin conditions, but at the same time we had to answer constructively. Again, for the same Washington "viewer". And in order to break the insidious Putin schemes once again.

Accordingly, President Zelensky stated: "If Russia is suddenly ready to join the format of complete and unconditional silence, Ukraine will act mirror - as it will be on the Russian side. Silence in response to silence, strikes against strokes. 30 hours are enough for headlines, but not for real confidence measures. At the same time, it was emphasized by violations of the ceasefire regime on the Russian side.
