At this point the war is a stalemate. Given that, Ukraine's requirements for peace are... well they don't have the "war-score" to try for those options yet. TBH I don't think they want peace without those requirements, and Russia isn't beat enough to agree. So peace is just off the table for now. Which suggests it was never a serious offer anyway.
This was is absolutely not at a stalemate. Ukraine just wasted their offensive capability and all the weapons they received in an offensive that failed to accomplish anything. If people seriously think that Russia isn't going to go on an offensive of their own with the 400k troops they assembled, they're in for a big surprise.
Ukraine did nothing of those things. Your addiction to Putin propaganda is just showing.
Putin propagandists must've infiltrated the highest echelons of liberal western media, because here's what they've been saying
Your utter lack of understanding of the subject you're opining on is just showing.
Whoops! Russia has lost. The only question is how much more will it lose. Believe for that reason? the peace offer is probably 100% serious, though I guess Ukraine could be planning some kind of trick.
