Sources: Putin seeks to reach a ceasefire protocol on his own terms

On March 12, Golden Data News learned from several informed sources that Russian President Putin may try to delay any such ceasefire protocol to ensure the most favorable conditions for Moscow. According to a source familiar with the Kremlin's thinking, while Putin may agree to final ceasefire terms with Ukraine, he wants to ensure that his conditions are included beforehand. The source said that Russian officials have not discussed the specific protocol reached by the Ukrainian delegation in the Saudi city of Jeddah on Tuesday with US officials, and the Kremlin considers this framework unacceptable. A source closely related to the Kremlin also indicated that the Kremlin may also demand a halt to the provision of weapons to Ukraine as a condition for the ceasefire.
