Because Russia has a long track record for using ceasefires to prepare for future offensives, it's like their most common play. Russia needs to pull all its forces out of the Donbas and Crimea for there to be a real peace, either by choice or by force.

At best you can accuse the #stopthewar movement of stunning naivete when it comes to any sort of peace process with Russia that starts by leaving Russian forces inside Ukraine. Until they start saying Russia must withdraw, their proposals are worthless & would only extend the war
It's clear Russia won't withdraw, and obvious to anyone who pays attention Ukraine understands a ceasefire will just be used by Russia to reinforce, so neither side wants peace on terms the other side is willing to accept, so these speeches are just empty rhetoric.
And these peace movements always avoid talking about the reality on the ground, the massive number of war crimes committed by Russia, and how those should be addressed. What's the serious, substantial steps they would take to address these crimes in their calls for peace?
