Except that Russia is the invader now.
Good for putin
Russia’s nuclear arsenal means it can guarantee its own security.
As part of the overall deal, Russia needs to completely demilitarize Kaliningrad.
In return, perhaps the EU can confer something like a “free port” status on the territory for locally produced goods and services.
Putin started this war. Period.
Sounds like we have starting points for negotiations.
Z won’t make a deal. Trump is right to hang him out to dry. Ukraine needs to get rid of him.
If Z were smart and he is not, he would be negotiating for his parachute. Maybe he could get at this point is a 500k condo in Cyprus. Otherwise, he might get prison or worse at the hands of his political opponents.
RE: Russia will seek a peace deal in Ukraine that safeguards its own long-term security
Look who’s talking — THE INVADER HIMSELF!
Are the Ukrainians going to be forced to love Putin and Russia as part of the peace deal? His Special Military Operation was not an effective way to secure sincere love & sincere appreciation. The people who have lost loved ones or experienced other suffering are going to remember this on Tiktok, Instagram, and other places for decades to come.
God bless Putin and may Russia gain a lasting peace.
