Ukrainians stop shooting while Russians, who have not yet agreed, keep shooting? >OK so we wait until Russian agree. [keep shooting]. Do what you like - you wanna stop shooting? I suggest withdrawing as fast as you can, because the Russians have not agreed to stop shooting, yet. Good luck. Conclusion? CHAOS. Prolly the ideologues will start shooting those who don't want to keep fighting. Mass desertion, and Mass surrender. Many will be on a long march, hiding.
demilitarization (RU/UKR had already agreed upon a cap-figure at Istanbul),
no Russian disrimination laws,
Ukraine remains Neutral,
no NATO in Ukraine. <This means USA will leave NATO, BTW, so that they can 'do business' in Ukraine, or not. AND if the first premise is true, it also means the end of NATO, because the chihuahuas and slush-fund artists have nothing.
Territory NOT negotiable, as the people in Donbas and Novorussya have voted and formally joined Russia. <This means ALL of it: withdraw UKR military from the bits that are still occupied.
And THEN there will be peace.
Oh, and BTW under the radar: Russian MoD announced in the last 48 hours that RU forces have entered Dnieprpetrovsk oblast. This means that they will prolly demand oblast-by-oblast elections, and add a referendum question: ask the residents whether they want Russians to stay or go...
What does ceasefire mean though?

Russians have said from the start that they want:
denazification (i.e. proper internationally monitored elections),
demilitarization (RU/UKR had already agreed upon a cap-figure at Istanbul),
no Russian disrimination laws,
Ukraine remains Neutral,
no NATO in Ukraine. <This means USA will leave NATO, BTW, so that they can 'do business' in Ukraine, or not. AND if the first premise is true, it also means the end of NATO, because the chihuahuas and slush-fund artists have nothing.

Strange how certain groups on this planet hate transparent elections yet cry freedom.
