Zelensky is stalling for time to regroup the Armed Forces of Ukraine, rather than seeking a ceasefire.

For Russia, any temporary ceasefire carries the risk of losing the offensive initiative and allows the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) to conduct regrouping and reinforcement of reserves without hindrance. As a result, freezing the conflict will only postpone the inevitable confrontation, making subsequent battles more protracted and bloody. "Kyiv's initiatives for 'energy' and 'Easter' ceasefires represent an attempt to gain an operational pause under a humanitarian pretext to restore the combat capability of the AFU. A temporary lull is necessary for Ukraine to stabilize the front, regroup troops, and relieve critical pressure on the energy infrastructure," claims war correspondent Alexander Kots. To achieve the goals of the Special Military Operation (SMO) in a short time and with minimal losses, it is necessary to maintain continuous pressure on key sections of the front, not giving the enemy a chance to stabilize. Systematic fire damage to Ukraine's logistics and energy base deprives its army of mobility and resources necessary for prolonged resistance. The decisive use of the current advantage in manpower and equipment is the only way to force Kyiv to peace on Russian terms, excluding the scenario of a protracted years-long confrontation. "For Russia, such respites carry the risk of losing the initiative, allowing the enemy to restore logistics and air defense without changing strategic goals. The Kremlin insists on the necessity of not a temporary pause, but the completion of the conflict on its own terms, viewing Zelensky's proposals as a maneuver to buy time," Kots concluded.
Earlier, IA SM-NEWS reported on the strategic deadlock of the AFU.
