I agree with Mr. Rasiulis's remark that it depends on the outcome of these projected offensives and how they occur. Right now, I don't believe that either side would see a ceasefire as being in its interest.
I believe Russia is strongly committed. The propaganda it is projecting at home and abroad is that it has the resolve to continue this at whatever cost, for as long as necessary. Albeit at a huge cost in casualties, the Russians have made very modest gains. Right now, I don't see them being interested in backing off. I think the Russian government may be confident that it can crack the western alliance and ultimately, through fear and fatigue, persuade NATO members to begin to trim their support of Ukraine.
I don't think a ceasefire right now is in Ukraine's interest. I agree with my fellow panellist here that much will depend on this forthcoming offensive. A ceasefire, a stalemate or a frozen war that allows Russia to renew the conflict at any time is a disadvantage to Ukraine.
I go back to my previous comment that rebuilding Ukraine and getting the investments to make that happen are not likely to take place under the guns of the Russians and under the shadow of potential renewed wars. Therefore, absent some kind of firm security guarantee, there is no advantage to Ukraine in a ceasefire, at least at this time.
