  Exact reporting differs from one article to another, but from what I understood, Putin didn't really negotiate the cease-fire - he just announced it.
context: Posting Friday on Telegram, Haidai said that in the first three hours of the cease-fire, Russian forces shelled Ukrainian positions 14 times and stormed one settlement three times. 
  
  How can something "falte", that never existed in the first place? Putin saying things means less than my cat meowing. My cat is decisive about going outside about 40% of the time AT LEAST, whereas Putin is just making wind 100% of the time. >
  
  The Ukrainians never agreed to it either.  Which I don't blame them for.  And as much of an ass as Putin is, I'm not really sure "not upholding a ceasefire the other side didn't agree too" is really something to fault him for.
  Kidnapping a bunch of Ukrainian children, on the other hand...
