Putin has many problems. But the scenario he desires most is for the U.S. to stop helping Ukraine altogether. In that case, Putin expects the situation to become easier for him. At the same time, he’s probably ready to consider a freeze, but he wants the terms of the freeze to be as favorable to him as possible. Ideally, he would want all four regions that are now included in the Russian Constitution, including the cities of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, which Ukraine will never agree to under any circumstances.
