Polish media have disclosed the details of the peace proposal presented by the U.S. envoy to Putin. Russia and Ukraine will sign a ceasefire agreement, not a peace treaty; the U.S. is considering de facto recognition of Russia's sovereignty over newly annexed territories (by shelving the issue for 49 or 99 years); the U.S. will lift most sanctions against Russia; in the long term, the U.S. is resuming imports of Russian gas and oil; the U.S. does not guarantee that NATO will not continue its expansion; the U.S. does not commit to suspending military support to Ukraine. Zelenskyy has exhausted all his strength and luck, and what awaits him is certainly not a good end. Looking at this agreement framework, it is just for a temporary ceasefire. My personal judgment is that this agreement is meaningless, just a short-term truce, with no issues resolved. Can the U.S. recognizing the de facto control of Ukraine and Russia prevent future wars? Putin will not leave the issue for the next generation. Moreover, the eastern part of Ukraine is not American territory, and the U.S. has no right to decide. The agreement does not prohibit Ukraine from joining NATO, and Putin will not accept it. It will keep fighting until Ukraine agrees. This agreement is essentially selling Ukraine out. Putin's goal, stopping NATO's eastward expansion, still won't be accepted. Is Putin after the territory of Ukraine? Such an agreement would not be accepted by Putin. Poland is the kind of person who "stirs up trouble" and "wants chaos." Poland "pays on its own" to have American troops stationed permanently, and "voluntarily" deploys American intermediate-range missiles in Poland. If Ukraine disappears, Poland will become the next target of Russia and NATO/US rivalry. Trump said to Russia: For my "Peace Prize," I can give you everything you want, but you also need to give me some face, we can each get what we want. As for the future, we'll deal with it later. Putin would be foolish to agree. A ceasefire, waiting for the West to continue supporting weapons to Ukraine for the next round of fighting? Not committing to not expanding NATO means allowing Ukraine to join NATO in half a year. Not recognizing the eastern regions of Ukraine as Russian means there will be no obstacles for the next war.
