It sounds hyperbolic but it’s really not far from the truth.
Putin’s still insisting on maximalist terms including NATO effectively pulling all defensive alliance support from three NATO members. But there’s no mechanism to deliver that. The USA can’t change the NATO charter unilaterally. It’d be easier for the USA and Hungary to both quit NATO, than try to demote Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania while 25 other countries in the alliance have vetoes.
And that means Putin’s demands around disenfranchisement of the Baltics are for the birds - they’re utterly impossible as preconditions for a temporary ceasefire.
RF hasn’t even managed to put a single pair of boots in the northern half of Zaporizhzhia oblast, but still wants Ukraine to sign it over (in return for a ceasefire without guarantees).
Again - Putin wants all his war aims delivered as a precondition for even a temporary ceasefire... While offering no concessions (!)
So the Bee is exaggerating... But not in a big way.
