Whenever Zelensky proposes an immediate ceasefire, Russia and its useful idiots typically respond by calling it a sign of weakness and proof that Russia is winning, and that it should therefore not be accepted.

Now that Trump claims Putin wants to make a deal more than Zelensky, does that mean Russia is losing?

This isn't an isolated case. Russian propaganda in general is just enormously self-contradictory.

If Russia moves forward, this is a sign that Ukraine is collapsing. If Ukraine conducts several successful counteroffensives, like it did this year, the Russian bots are saying that Russia doesn't really care about territory and that this is a war of attrition.

Ukraine is allegedly only able to target Russian refineries because America is helping them. Yet Trump threatens to withhold intelligence to pressure Ukraine to stop attacking refineries.

Europe is said to be incredibly weak and that Russia would just steamroll it. Yet Europe allegedly produces millions of drones for Ukraine and hundreds of stand-off weapons, enabling daily deep strikes against Russia (remember, not even the United States were able to sustain a deep strike campaign against Iran for more than a few weeks without depleting their stocks).

Europe is allegedly overrun by Muslims. Yet Russia not only has more Muslims but Putin literally kisses the Quran and calls Islam "an outstanding element of Russia’s cultural makeup, an integral, organic part of its history" (source: official Kremlin website).

I could go on. The whole narrative is really quite embarrassing. But it's apparently more than enough for the retards and third world audience it is aimed at.
