The media is full to the brim with stories about what the EU wants for a ceasefire and what Zelensky wants for a ceasefire.
How did it get this bizarre? Why to they think any of this matters? Russia has explicitly said no NATO troops, and if a ceasefire is what the EU says is required for NATO troops, then why do they presume Russia will want a ceasefire. It would be the explicitly wrong thing to do, given their condition of no NATO troops.
As for the concept of peacekeepers, a peacekeeper is an offensive soldier awaiting a phone call to give attack orders. So that means nothing.
The media is probably doing this to conceal their awareness that the budget process has no money for Ukraine. And with the debt ceiling part of the budget, once it passes there will be no mechanism at all for Ukraine money that Trump won’t veto.
This is maybe not a surprise. A total Russian victory would be presented by the media as defeat.
