Putin has not yet signed the ceasefire, but Russia has announced an unexpected decision. The Russian military will provide security guarantees for Ukraine, and also include our country to provide security guarantees for Ukraine together.
Of course, we won't go, this is a big quagmire, it's a waste of time to guard the border in Donbass. Russia isn't going to divide the four eastern Ukrainian provinces, nor is it going to take over territories, so what's the point? Is it just because the ruble salary looks like a lot of money?
However, this matter is beneficial for Russia. Once this succeeds, the Russian army will not only turn the four eastern Ukrainian provinces into new Russian territories, but also gain the right to station troops in the remaining 80% of Ukraine's territory.
Why does Russia do this? Ukraine still has 80% of its territory, and Western armies will eventually enter Ukraine in large numbers and re-arm Ukraine.
Now, Ukraine is weak, but when Ukraine regains its strength, it will certainly try to reclaim its lost territories, which is obvious. Russia can only avoid this by gaining the right to station troops in Ukraine.
