At this point I want to just see the signing ceremony, where at the end Putin reminds everyone “you could have gotten this exact same deal in March 2022.”
This war now is basically to salvage the legacy of the Overpromoted Comedian, and the west as an entity. Anything less than a fantasy victory that cedes everything west of Vladivostok to Kiev will be evidence their obstinance cost thousands of lives.
Idk if it’s politically feasible for Putin to offer the same deal as 2022. He needs to show gains for lives lost and treasure spent to the Russian people.

They would get way better deal in march 2022 and infinitely better at any point between 2014 and 2022.
