I read the Russian GDP had declined 7.5%% , not a small amount, his ceasefire call is a delaying tactic in hopes trump gets in and to halt immediate aid to Ukraine. I'm sure his air force is in rough shape, not exactly known for regular maintenance, wait till the f16s arrive ...

That's a load of bullshit. Even the IMF has Russia's GDP growing by about 2.6% last year.

Estimates range from 2.3% (Russian economic ministry) to 3.6% (Rosstat) growth after a small 1.2% drop in 2022.

Sure. Selling precious metals physical reserves does increase GDP on paper and mobilisation of 300 000 working age males automatically reduces unemployment %, I agree.

Yeah, they might be growing on paper, but all that military spending isn't really a good sign. Refurbishing Soviet era tanks to somewhat modern standards that get blown up after a week isn't really the kind of "growth" that indicates a health economy.
 
Avdeevka front is collapsing.

Considering that Ukraine sent their best troops there and they’re unable to stabilize the situation, I expect collapses on multiple fronts.

Meanwhile, Putin reiterated Russia is still open for negotiations. Zelensky needs to decide if he wants to lose more of Ukraine or save it.

Why would multiple fronts collapse? There is hardly any major battles outside this front. Ukraine doing a controlled retreat isn't a collapse. This ain't a Russian thunder run lol

Putin wants to negotiate because he needs to rest and regroup. Smh. You know sucking Russian dick is a one way street right? That goes for @Copper Burner too. They ain't sucking you off in return.

According to colonel Grosberg report there isn't any sufficient evidence that russuia had slowed down their criuse missiles manufacturing or had managed to rack up this. While sanctions mainly doesn't work at all...

Kupyansk, Ugledar fronts are possibly collapsing, Russia made some serious gains over the last few days there.

Why in the world would Putin want a ceasefire to rest right now when Russia finally achieved a significant advantage on the battlefield, Ukraine is not getting any US aid and Europe is crumbling under protests and people in Europe certainly not caring and supporting Ukraine as much as they did in 2022?

The only way Putin agrees on a ceasefire if Russia is given concrete guarantees of receiving what they want in the long term negotiations.

It is Ukraine that desperately needs to “rest and regroup” and hopefully Putin is not stupid enough to sign Minsk - 3 where he will get fooled again

What Russia wants is to take over the entire country, erase Ukrainian ethnic and political identity, feast on their resource wealth, and then leverage that control into geopolitical strength over Europe and the rest of the world. So no, I don't think a "peace negotiation" is gonna hold up very well lmao
