Good. There is a lot of fear that Russia will only use a cease fire to regroup.
Talk softly and carry a big stick.

Anyone knows what Starmer ( UK PM) was really saying or suggesting yesterday, about going forward with the operational plan for a peaceplan? Seemingly, regardless of Moscows (peace) commitment?
Sounded like he might be suggesting actual boots, or am I reading too much in that? -

Tnx, so boots and no fly zone etc, as a part or as an extension of a peace deal.
It was this sentence that left me wondering fyi:"We have to learn from the mistakes of the past, we cannot accept a weak deal which Russia can breach with ease, instead any deal must be backed by strength," he said.

That's the point of it. American president Pootin ordered it.

Yes. I'm sure Putin will not put Russia's army activities nor arms production on halt during the truce.
