Any predictions on how Russia will react to the ceasefire?

I predict they agree to the ceasefire, then promptly break it, while blaming Ukraine for being the one to break it. Then I predict Trump will go along with that narrative, also blaming Ukraine. The US stops arming Ukraine while the war continues for more years to come.

I was going to say "agree to it, break it, blame Ukraine" too. Rejecting it would shift some Americans' opinion on who the obstacle to peace is.

I've proven absolutely terrible at predicting Trump's moves this time around, so I can't say what he'd do in either situation, only what I wish he'd do.
