13.03.2025Putin's Conditional Ceasefire Gambit
Morning reports revealed Russia's leaked negotiating demands, including "dismantling" Ukrainian government and establishing demilitarized zones. Associated Press reported Ukraine has depleted its ATACMS missile stockpile while Ukrainian drone strikes hit a concealed Russian drone factory in Kaluga region.

By midday, Putin's aide explicitly rejected any temporary ceasefire, contradicting earlier signals. However, by afternoon Putin dramatically shifted position, claiming Russia was "in favor" of the proposed 30-day ceasefire but with unspecified "nuances" or conditions. Zelensky quickly responded that Putin was "effectively preparing a refusal."

Trump called Putin's statement "promising but incomplete" while revealing he had discussed with Ukraine which territories "would be preserved and which would be lost." Simultaneously, the Trump administration announced new sanctions against Russia's oil, gas, and banking sectors while reportedly removing negotiator Kellogg from peace talks due to his "pro-Ukrainian position" following Kremlin demands.
