In many respects, the ball is in President Putin’s hands. He has a remarkable combination of being brutally restrictive on the rights and sovereignty of others and having the ability to not make clear decisions and prevaricating which, at the moment, is quite interesting. We would not wish to see a ceasefire which simply allows him to regroup, restock and exploit the situation for supporting the recovery of the Russian war economy. But we do want there to be a longer-term agreement for the benefit of Ukraine.
