Kit, truncated subtitle, should be "The US is in the process of presenting a ceasefire deal to Russia. With Ukraine on the back foot, a ceasefire would allow Kyiv time to rearm; yet, refusing the deal would allow Washington to shift blame to Russia for keeping the war going."

The Russians will of course not bite.

BUT no one around the world is going to blame them. Its a ruse. At this stage the dodge is so obvious that even the heavily brainwashed western public can see through this one. I dont think this PR ploy will work at alll.

This is one propaganda move too many by the wester mis-leaders and I think they will now find they are talking only to themselves in an echo chamber.

That is not true, the majority of Americans (Trumpists, liberals, Democrats, Ziophiles) ALL blame Russia for still being there, calling Putin "Hitler" and Russia "imperialist". In Britain, it is even a larger majority, because Britain has more commie scare and many people equal Russia with communists.

No - people want this war to be over. Not a "ceasefire" and then more war. They want a negotiated END to the war:

And see the trend on the chart lower down on the page:

And that's Europe and the US which have been propagandized.

If you looked at opinion in Africa, Asia, its of course going to be even more in favour of ending this stupidity now rather than fake blaming Russia.
