Kind of weird - is this because Blinken doesn't want to look like a nonce in front of Leather Daddies like Putin, Xi, et al, and thus using a euphemism is diplomatically better than the "C" word? But that doesn't sound right because I can't imagine Sanders would give a rat's ass about that kind of posturing.

So, I guess the question is in the verbiage: When did "ceasefire" become such a third rail that the non-UN diplomatic corps had to find a different word to describe the same thing?
