“They’ll be in the ascendency the more Putin does not engage.”
Putin’s engaged - he sent his #2 Defense Minister there with a team of others. Let’s see if the Ukrainians sit down and talk with them.
As to Putin himself, he’s never been known to fly around the world for photo ops. Like all other major leaders, he flies to countries to sign agreements. Look at Trump today, he’s in Cutter, signing very significant agreements - the work involved in developing those agreements was done by lower-level Americans meeting with Cutterites, or whatever they are called.
