I don’t think they’ll agree to a ceasefire at all. Putin wants control of Kiev, whether that’s through a puppet or directly probably doesn’t much matter. Europe is looking increasingly likely that they’ll put boots on the ground to maintain the pace, so if the Russians don’t push hard for everything now, they might not have another chance for the foreseeable future
I would argue it does not look increasingly likely that European countries will put boots on the ground considering most of them rule out this option if the United States are not involved, and the United States stated several times they will not be involved.
Russia is not likely to agree to the ceasefire before regaining control of Kursk.
