Why do you think you're right?

While all things are possible, history does not suggest that Putin will relinquish power in Russia.

Why might you be wrong?
If opposition becomes strong enough, Putin could be overthrown but it is doubtful he would ever leave power by democratic means.

Why do you think you're right?

Russia's resistance to Ukraine entering NATO and Ukraine's determination to have this be part of ceasefire deal makes the chance of ceasefire unlikely.

Why might you be wrong?

There is a lot of international and US efforts to make a ceasefire happen.

Why do you think you're right?

It is unlikely a ceasefire will happen in the next week but slightly more likely it will happen in the next 3 months. The next 6 months might be less likely if a ceasefire deal hasn't already been reached. Oct to December has a higher likelihood due to winter weather affecting troops and may be a natural break for fighting. There is still a very good chance that no ceasefire deal will be made based on the history of this war and current unresolved issues.

This issue is still quite volatile. External pressures from the US and Europe might still change the outcomes. Particularly Trump's unreliable behavior makes it hard to predict.

Why do you think you're right?

3/18: "immediate pause in strikes against energy infrastructure in the Ukraine war, but the Russian leader stopped short of backing a broader 30-day pause in fighting that the U.S. administration is pressing for."

US leadership (Trump) is actively pushing for a cease fire but only for 30 days. International leadership pressure can often have an effect on whether cease fires are successful and there is a lot of international support for this idea.

Why might you be wrong?

Trump and Zelenskyy do not seem to see eye to eye (ref 2/2025 meeting), this can have a negative effect on possible negotiations despite having the same goal as far as a cease fire. 

Putin and Zelenskyy have not shown signs of wanting to make concessions or disputed land or NATO membership, which means a long-lasting ceasefire is uncertain at this point.
