If Ukraine Is Winning The War Why Is The U.S. Requesting A Ceasefire?

 

Moon Of Alabama: If Ukraine Is Winning Why Is The U.S. Requesting A Ceasefire? 

Yesterday the U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin called the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Sergei Shoigu. 

Why? 

The U.S. readout of the call says:  

 On May 13, Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III spoke with Russian Minister of Defense Sergey Shoygu for the first time since February 18. Secretary Austin urged an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine and emphasized the importance of maintaining lines of communication. 

Austin initiated the call and the U.S. is seeking a ceasefire in Ukraine!!! 

Are we not told that the Ukraine is winning the war? That it will soon push the Russian forces back over the border? The operation to 'weaken Russia', which Austin had publicly announced two weeks ago, does not seem to go that well.
