Can Putin accept a cease fire?

Some pundits say that he NEEDS the war to stay in power.

I have no idea.

I will be happy if the killing stops and Ukraine is secure and can begin rebuilding.

And yes I think the cost for Ukraine's future security must be borne by the Europeans.

After all, Ukrainians died to hold back Putin's murderous hordes.
