According to History.com they had to move troops around to OTHER front lines because they guys that had just spent 'the truce' playing soccer (football) were refusing to now fire upon one another. So, yeah. This will probably work. ;)

Russian President Vladimir Putin backs Hungary’s proposal for a Christmas cease-fire and prisoner swap in Ukraine.
The Kremlin said Russian President Vladimir Putin backs Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s proposal for a Christmas cease-fire and prisoner swap in Ukraine, after Kyiv criticized Orban for not consulting with Ukrainian officials, hinting it undermines Western unity in the face of Russia’s invasion.
Orban proposed the cease-fire and prisoner exchange in a call with Putin on Dec. 11, according to statements from both the Kremlin and Hungary. Specific details were not disclosed.
Shortly after Wednesday’s call, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy took to X to criticize Orban, accusing him of boosting his “personal image at the expense of unity” and insisting that any discussions about the war without Ukraine’s participation in the talks are counterproductive.
Zelenskyy also praised President-elect Donald Trump and European leaders for their initiative “to find the right and strong solutions for real peace,” efforts that the Ukrainian president said are being conducted with Kyiv’s involvement.
A day later, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Orban’s initiative has Putin’s backing, adding that Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) had put forward specific prisoner exchange proposals to Hungary’s embassy in Moscow to move the proposal forward.
“The Russian side fully supports Orban’s efforts aimed at finding a peaceful settlement and resolving humanitarian issues related to the prisoner exchange,” Peskov said on Dec. 12.

Maybe both sides can serenade each other with Christmas Carols from the trenches...then resume killing each other December 26.
If there is going to be a truce, it should last until Orthodox Christmas (January 7). Even better, until January 20.
Russia remains a world power. Ukraine....not even close.
How about this time they mutiny in the field, make their officers a deal they can’t refuse, and go home?

Maybe that’s Putin’s plan - Ukraine can cease fire December 25, and Putin can say he thought it was going to be on Orthodox Christmas and that’s why there was a huge offensive on the December day. Then on Orthodox Christmas, the NORKs can go on the offensive.
Otherwise, Putin’s winning this PR exchange.
“hinting it undermines Western unity in the face of Russia’s invasion.”
This article is NOT from the Neocons as it does NOT say: Russia’s FULL SCALE invasion.
So it’s worth reading.
Where are the usual ZEEPERS ?
I guess it’s the middle of the night in Ukraine…
Zelensky turned it down.
“[Z] really thinks he’s gonna get Crimea and Donbass and everyone’s money, too??
Russia remains a world power. Ukraine....not even close.”

Later, when Ukraine recovers, what’s to prevent Ukraine from renewing hostilities to get their lands back?

Current events are making fools of them, the truth is surfacing…..they are losing badly. They still believe in the Ghost of Kiev, Snake island, washing machine chips, shovels, Russia is disintegrating, out of of missiles, ammo, manpower.
Fact is the US’s Project Ukraine that began in 2014 with Nuland and McCain is DEAD. Post war analysis will be stunning. Vlad holds all the cards.

All sectors of Ukraine has flat lined, from birth rates to finances, manpower to manufacturing. They are close to ceasing to exist as a Nation, which will occur when all their welfare payments dry up.
fixed it
Sad pic
It needs to end.One way or another.
Where are the usual ZEEPERS ?
I think they are barricaded in a safe space with a bunch of cute, hug-gable plushies to console themselves with.
