Here's an interesting interview with a psychiatrist who studied Putin over a very long period of time.

Putin always believed and stated that "Ukraine is not a real country".

Listening to the video now, he has some good insights. 

The bottom line somebody has to negotiate with him, Russia isn't going to overthrow him, and Ukraine is rightfully emotionally raw from the last 3 years. So we have this back and forth all the while Russia will try and increase it's positions in Ukraine

Ive always found it's important to read all of the countries involved, media, and news reports on a subject even government-controlled Tass and Pravda

Hell I thought they would be flabbergasted and non-commital there might be something to work with here.

Vladimir Putin supports the idea of a ceasefire in the Ukraine conflict but sees a need for thorough discussion; the Russian army’s progress in the Kursk Region alters the frontline situation; and Armenia, Azerbaijan reach an agreement on a draft peace accord. These stories have topped Friday’s newspaper headlines across Russia.
 
Media: Putin supports ceasefire proposal but stresses need for detailed discussionsRussia agrees with proposals to end military operations but believes that the process should lead to a lasting peace, President Vladimir Putin said. When discussing the nuances that required attention, he highlighted the situation in the Kursk Region, where the Russian Armed Forces are steadily advancing, the continued weapons supplies to Kiev and Ukraine’s mobilization campaign, as well as the need for mechanisms to monitor the ceasefire, Vedomosti writes.

IN BRIEF: Russia for truce, but 'nuances' remain — highlights of Putin's remarks to mediaThe Trump administration may show flexibility when discussing the Ukraine conflict but it is unlikely to meet all of Russia’s conditions as it seeks to demonstrate strength, Alexey Naumov, author of the VneshPol Telegram channel, said. He believes that Moscow’s direct refusal to accept this initiative would be another red line for Trump, which he may interpret as a personal insult. "However, I doubt that Moscow is considering such an option," Naumov stressed. Still, in his words, "the US realizes that the strategic advantage is on Russia’s side and a continued conflict will harm Washington."
