SOFREP in Ukraine, boots on the ground update – SOFREP (press release) (subscription)

The situation here in Ukraine is one that is all too familiar with the promise of a new ceasefire that bears no weight.
I think the problem is that when we think of the word ceasefire in the west, we think no shooting, period. Well, here in Ukraine its a word that is used very loosely. Its something to use to stall the west or even fool the Ukrainian population. Maybe even fool the western governments into thinking that the war down here is coming to a halt, that just maybe it can be solved diplomatically. Whatever the reason for this word being used in terms of this war in Ukraine the reality of it is this: it means nothing here and the fighting will continue regardless of how many western governments meet and try to solve this conflict.
