Up to this point it has been the US/UK that have all but forbidden the Ukes to make any sort of deal with Russia to end the conflict. Kissinger is recognizing the obvious (the Ukes are losing) and is trying to end the globalists’ disastrous little war before things really fall apart....and the clock is ticking. He’s smart enough to know that.
The choice is not make a deal now or keep fighting to deny Putin what he wants. The choice is cut your losses by making a deal now or Putin will bite off a much bigger chunk if you keep fighting. The collapse of the Uke army is inevitable. Its just a question of a few months max.
The good news is the globalists got the war they wanted and it blew up right in their faces. Their whole project has been dealt a severe blow.
What is to stop Russia selling any deal as a huge victory at home, restocking its weapons, and hitting Ukraine even harder later?
Other deals that Russia broke include the UN Charter, the formal recognition of independence for the eastern bloc countries and Georgia, the Budapest Memorandum...
All of which had far more legal and moral standing than a ceasefire agreement that tears up the Budapest Memorandum and demotes Ukraine to a disputed territory.
