If such a TREATY (not agreement) goes through it is a victory for Putin that will emboldened his resolve to move further west. Valdimir Putin is a brinkmanship negotiator. The brinkmanship never stops even after signatures are made.
Any agreement (not treaty) will be violated after the celebrations have been made. Putin is not trustworthy. He wants to destroy NATO and has made it completely clear that is his goal. Putin is actively moving against NATO and Article Five (click here) has already been engaged.
Appeasement to Putin will be viewed by the Russian as a vulnerability and weakness and it will give him permission to continue hiding aspirations for more.
The problem with Trump is that he has his own dictionary and rule book. Recent court cases in the USA are revealing it. When negotiators are not settled upon the language and each party has their own dictionary any agreement is invalid from the beginning.
There must be clear and crisp understanding of any of the 28 articles in a peace TREATY. None of the language can be murky to allow for wiggle room. Every article of a peace TREATY has to achieve a specific goal to bring about peace and maintain it. There cannot be linchpins that lead back to conflict. Only Zelenskyy and Putin know where there are linchpins. They are the leaders of their countries and have historical and sustainable understanding of the people and what will work. For Putin, it is my opinion, nothing will work. He will never settle for the current borders of Russia and live with it. To him there will always be more.
The war with Putin has always been one of attrition. He has other communists and soldiers of fortune in sympathy with his aggression and financial rewards. The movement against him will have to include all the countries currently supplying his reinforcements. His carnage of human beings is despicable and without conscience. Negotiations to end the bleeding of human beings must take place as those leaving their countries for Russian gold will lessen available men and open those countries to exploitation of resources.
The conflicts in Africa are always about resources to continue the ideological wars. The ideologies exist to satisfy the wealth of a few. Soldiers of fortune are not returning home with their promised rewards. They are dying as untrained brutes, no different than the dead Russian soldiers.
