Putin Crossed The Line and Took the Decision Nobody in Kremlin Wanted Him to Take - The Russian Dude
Throughout his political career, Putin has been known for never listening to anyone. And most of the times, the decisions that he took all by himself, eventually backfired. And so is the most recent his decision to announce a temporary ceasefire during Easter. He though Ukraine will not accept it, break it, and Putin will blame them. But Ukraine had a bold response to Putin, that he never expected. Even Kremlin most likely never wanted Putin to take that decision.
