Alexander Sladkov - Top Russian military reporter:
"If a ceasefire or armistice agreement is signed with the Ukrainians, then this will be, to put it mildly, far from the first agreement that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will violate. But they will carry out rotation everywhere, improve defensive structures where they need to, collect their dead, create reserves of fuel, provisions and ammunition. And then they will cynically screw us. Once again, they will humiliate us and make fools of us.
And in the Russian trenches they will loudly talk about the Kremlin’s betrayal.
This has already happened. I mean, such talks have already arisen. And if the ceasefire in favor of Ukraine is repeated, I personally will lose faith in our firm intentions to achieve Victory with the least losses."
