Russian President Vladimir Putin promised Friday to 'immediately' order a ceasefire in Ukraine and begin negotiations if Kyiv started withdrawing troops from the four regions annexed by Moscow in 2022 and renounced plans to join NATO.
Russia has repeatedly promised not to invade Ukraine, right up to the point where they did. First in 2014, then in 2020.
There is no use signing any kind of treaty with a government like that, or else the Ukrainian people are going to go through this again in a couple of years.
I’m not sure what you’re referring to when you say Russia promised not to invade in 2014. 2014 is the year of Euromaidan’s aftermath, of the illegitimacy of Ukraine’s government and, namely, the Russian annexation of Crimea. Russia entered Crimea in 2014, military. Depending on your perspective, it literally invaded Ukraine in 2014.
The war will end with either the destruction of one party or a peace deal. You are implying there should not be a peace deal because Russia is untrustworthy. Then you must be, against all odds and material reality, hoping that Ukraine defeats the entirety of Russia.
