Zelensky Traps Putin

NATO or Bust

A tumbling ruble and the grumbling economic war machine have forced Putin to find ways to end the war and seek a ceasefire. He certainly didn’t disappoint on that front, calling President-elect Donald Trump an “intelligent and experienced” politician capable of finding solutions.

Once you enter peace talks with Putin, he is experienced enough to turn them into a victory for himself. Any agreement is a piece of cake for him because, in Russian history, there has always been only one side that adheres to the conditions, and that side has never been Russia. Take any agreement Russians made with the Western world; all of them share the same common thread. The West would have tied its hands and feet to the agreement, while Putin would have broken it at every turn, finding innovative ways to claim that he was forced to break them.

The Minsk agreements were supposed to bring peace to eastern Ukraine. Instead, they created a buffer zone that allowed Russia to invade Ukraine with relative ease in February 2022.

Putin invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022. Attached below is the position of Russian troops after three days.
