Love that the headline is directly contradicted by the summary. Putin supports a ceasefire in Ukraine given Ukraine meeting preconditions. That's literally what the article is saying.

He opposes a ceasefire because he is a warmonger. Russia invaded Ukraine unprovoked, they are a threat to world peace. And Putin is a cunt.

Ukraine will hopefully be able to join the defensive bloc of NATO at some time in the near future to prevent this from happening again.

Who gives a shit what a lying warmonger says?

Militaries do that when attacked.

The purpose of a ceasefire isn't one-sided martial domination, it is the acceptance of mutual intolerable (military) resource overexploitation.

At the moment, the Russian strategy doesn't line up with the Ukrainian strategy for what a intolerable loss consists of.
