  The ceasefire that never was, halted by the superpower that never was. Like that surprises anyone,...
context: When will Putin die? >
  
  In a few months probably.  Based on the fact that he's already shitting himself, he's near the end.  I say this based on people I know who died of cancer. >
  
  He was walking around at church yesterday. 
  He's not that sick. >
  
  The person I know could still walk for months.  Only the last few days were in bed. >
  
  It's not just being bedbound; it's being out and about and looking perfectly healthy while ostensibly in the end stages of cancer. >
  
  Putin is a billionaire.  He can make himself look any way he wants.  His minions will prepare everything, put makeup on him, and do whatever it takes. >
  
  It's difficult to end something that never began. >
  
  "We're really doing it this time guys! Better give up while we're still on our way' >
  
  This reminds me of how the British navy was "on its way" to the Falklands for like 10 months. >
  
  Lol, literally no one believed it.
  What a joke. >
  
  Um…what ceasefire? They were words only. >
  
  Well Putin also went to a church for Christmas and had an awkward scene where some priest did a ritual and he looked bored.  Merry Christmas. >
  
  Russia is a joke. >
  
  Ever been there? Its beautiful,  people are lovely, I really enjoyed my stay there.. calling a whole people a "joke" says a lot more about you than them. >
  
  I think he’s clearly referring to the people in charge of these decisions as a joke.
  But hey arguing semantics over a country who’s government is committing genocide says a lot more about you then this guy . >
  
  Lol right. Context clues should show that they're obviously not talking about Russia as a whole 💀 goofy >
  
  By "press ahead", Russia means flee faster. >
  
  They aren't fleeing though. They have resorted to throwing bodies at the Ukrainians in hopes they get bored of killing them. 
  Russia pressing ahead with their special dying en masse operation. >
  
  They are fleeing if given the chance. That's why they had 700 soldiers in one barracks because if they split them up into a heap of small groups they end up losing a few. >
  
  By not fleeing I also include being unable to. >
  
  It was a ceasefire because they ran out of shells and needed to wait for more to arrive. Probably. >
  
  How about the world vows to press ahead with another year of sanctions? >
  
  Was there ever a ceasefire to end? >
  
  The article you posted answers that.
  
  President Vladimir Putin ordered on Friday a 36-hour ceasefire along the line of contact to observe Russia and Ukraine's Orthodox Christmas, which fell on Saturday. Ukraine had rejected the truce, and there was shelling along the frontline. >
  
  So basically yes but actual no >
  
  They declared a ceasefire much like Michael Scott declared bankruptcy. >
  
  Yeah but Michael Scott didn't just say it, he declared it
  I feel Russia just said it >
  
  I actually believe this is the right answer. >
  
  Glad they vowed, I wouldn’t have guessed what they would do next otherwise >
  
  Give up Russia >
  
  The reality is that there never was a ceasefire. This was just another horseshit from Putin to the gullible Russians. A fake show of his benevolence of letting the troops get reprieve during a holiday. There never was a stop of any fighting. Just more lies as usual. I'm sure the field commanders were given order to attack as usual but by adding "the Ukrainians are attacking during the ceasefire so we're just pushing back" to the troops. And the troops and their families back home would just lap it up as usual. Vranyo all the way down. >
  
  Wasn’t the cease fire rejected by Ukraine? >
  
  Russia demonstrates repeatedly that it cannot be trusted, and then expects Ukraine to accept peace offers? I think their leadership is insane. >
  
  Cease fire for moment so we can attack while you don't. They really need to put bullet in Putin's head! >
  
  There never was a ceasefire. Putin is a joke. >
  
  The world sees Putin pledged a ceasefire for 36 hours. Amber Heard style. >
  
  Hahaha. Okay. They mean full-scale retreat, right? >
  
  A full scale advance of 500,000 newly recruited mobiks into Ukrainian artillery fire control, equipped with imaginary tanks and APCs that no longer exist in the real world. >
  
  I'm not even sure they're capable of rounding up 500,000 recruits. >
  
  They’re capable of rounding 144 million recruits. >
  
  But have they got the weapons, ammunition, and logistical support for them.... >
  
  They have legs, so we solved the transport part. The other two might be more difficult. >
  
  Just like a sociopath deciding that being nice sucks. >
  
  Russian General: “About face. Advance!”. >
  
  Get wrecked >
  
  Reuters with awful headlines again >
  
  At what cost ? It is madness. >
  
  People were scrutinizing USA years leading up to the invasion of Ukraine but it is clear now that people and government of the world that they should have been looking at Russia. Don’t make the same mistake with Chinese government (CCP)
