Russian President Vladimir Putin will probably agree to eventual truce terms with Ukraine but wants his own conditions met beforehand, likely dragging out the negotiations. The Russian leader wants to make sure his stipulations are taken into account before agreeing to a ceasefire, according to a person familiar with the Kremlin's thinking. To achieve that, he'll try to stretch out the timeline for agreeing to any halt to fighting in Ukraine, other people with knowledge of the situation said. In a show of determination, Putin visited his troops in Russia's Kursk region Wednesday. Wearing military camouflage, Putin met with high-ranking military officers and called for "completely defeating the enemy that entrenched in the Kursk region as soon as possible," according to state-run Rossiya 24 TV. Tony Halpin leads Bloomberg's Economics and Government coverage of Russia and joined Caroline Hepker and Tom Mackenzie to discuss the story. -------- Watch Bloomberg Radio LIVE on YouTube Weekdays 7am-6pm ET WATCH HERE: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF Follow us on X: https://twitter.com/BloombergRadio Subscribe to our Podcasts: Bloomberg Daybreak: http://bit.ly/3DWYoAN Bloomberg Surveillance: http://bit.ly/3OPtReI Bloomberg Intelligence: http://bit.ly/3YrBfOi Balance of Power: http://bit.ly/3OO8eLC Bloomberg Businessweek: http://bit.ly/3IPl60i Listen on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with the Bloomberg Business app: Apple CarPlay: https://apple.co/486mghI Android Auto: https://bit.ly/49benZy Visit our YouTube channels: Bloomberg Podcasts: https://www.youtube.com/bloombergpodcasts Bloomberg Television: https://www.youtube.com/@markets Bloomberg Originals: https://www.youtube.com/bloomberg Quicktake: https://www.youtube.com/@BloombergQuicktake
