Putin and the so-called rebels are already saying the cease-fire doesn’t mean the fighting will stop.

Putin did in fact indicate to Poroshenko at the Minsk peace Conference that he expected the approximately 8,000 Ukrainian defenders in Debeltseve to surrender to the Russian separatists as part of the ceasefire agreement. Poroshenko and the Ukrainians denied being fully surrounded and isolated, so Putin has ordered his /Russian forces to reduce Debaltseve to rubble until the Ukrainian defenders agree to surrender the city and the defensive pocket being nearly surrounded by the pro-Russian and Russian armed forces.

By eliminating an independent Ukraine and preparing the Ukrainian battlefield for a resumption of the displacement of the Ukrainian people and culture with resettlement by Russians from Russia. The resumption of colonization by Russian settlers will inherit Europe’s argricultural breadbasket, mining, and other resources which warfare does not significantly destroy.
