That comes as part of a cease fire - kind of in the name -
But please show me any time in three years of war that Biden proposed a cease fire and Ukraine said yes and Russia considered it.
I'll wait.
It is unlikely that Putin would have agreed to any form of ceasefire between 2022 and 2023. Both Putin and the international community believed that the Russian army would conquer Ukraine within three weeks. Even after this did not occur, there was skepticism about Ukraine's ability to withstand the invasion for an extended period. Putin was confident that he could achieve his objectives, and therefore had no incentive to negotiate a settlement.
In 2024, Putin intended to observe the outcome of the U.S. election before deciding whether it would be more advantageous for Russia to pursue a ceasefire or a peace deal.
While it is easy to criticize President Biden for not actively pursuing a peace deal or ceasefire, the reality remains that President Putin was unlikely to agree to either.
