The “peace agreement” that was not for peace and not an agreement.
“One of the many myths and legends surrounding the Russian invasion of Ukraine is the idea that Kyiv rejected a reasonable Russian peace deal in the early weeks of the war. In reality, recently obtained documents confirm that the terms offered by the Kremlin in spring 2022 would have left Ukraine partitioned, disarmed, internationally isolated, and utterly unable to defend itself against further Russian aggression. In other words, Vladimir Putin’s alleged peace proposal was in fact a call for unconditional surrender and a blueprint for the destruction of the Ukrainian state.
Documents released this week by Radio Free Europe provide important new insights into the severity of the Kremlin’s demands when Russian and Ukrainian delegations sat down at the negotiating table in the first weeks of the war. As Putin’s armies swept across southern Ukraine and advanced on Kyiv, Russian officials listed their conditions to halt the invasion and implement a ceasefire. The resulting draft treaty spells out the unacceptable costs of what would have amounted to Ukraine’s capitulation.
In terms of territorial concessions, Ukraine was expected to cede Crimea and the Donbas region outright, while also accepting the ongoing occupation of areas then under Russian control until Moscow deemed that its conditions had been fully met. Kyiv would also have been forced to grant Russian the status of official state language and adopt a range of laws targeting Ukrainian religion, history, and national identity that harked back the russification policies of the Soviet and Tsarist empires.
The most detailed and revealing segment of the draft peace treaty dealt with Ukraine’s demilitarization. Russia called for the Ukrainian army to be drastically reduced to a skeleton force of just fifty thousand personnel. This was approximately one-fifth of the prewar total and a tiny fraction of Ukraine’s current military, which is believed to number around one million soldiers. Meanwhile, tight restrictions were to be imposed on the quantity of armor Ukraine could possess, the types of missiles the country could develop, and the size of the Ukrainian Air Force.
The Kremlin’s peace plan also obliged Ukraine to renounce its NATO membership ambitions and agree not to enter into bilateral alliances or seek military aid from Western countries. In later drafts dating from the final stages of the abortive peace process in April 2022, Russia also somewhat absurdly insisted on a veto over any international response to future attacks on Ukraine. If Ukraine’s leaders had accepted Moscow’s thinly veiled ultimatum, the country would have been disarmed and defenseless.”

Trump will not allow what looks like a loss (to most people) on his record. He wants to say…”the invasion wouldn’t have happened if i was President, and I got a good deal once I returned”. I also think Pooty Poot and Big Z want an escape hatch, and Trump will provide it.

Massie—the linear equivalent of Mayberry deputy Barney Fife, who was only issued one bullet on the 1960 TV series “The Andy Griffith Show”—apparently believed he was going to derail U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson’s re-election to a second term as Speaker on the worst domino-theory since the Vietnam War. The Kentucky firebrand—quite likely the biggest blowhard in Congress since former Illinois Representative Joe Walsh—seemed to believe something like this: “If I bellow that I won’t vote for Mike Johnson even if they (?) shove bamboo splints under my fingernails, others will fall in line and join me in my personal vendetta against the Speaker.”
Before the vote took place, Massie must have been watching old films of The Three Stooges, like to one where their Army sergeant asks his troops for three volunteers to take on a dangerous assignment; everyone else takes a few steps back…and Curly, Larry and Moe are left to face the music. (I’m not comparing the brief “dissent” on Friday to the Stooges…particularly because Moe sports a snappier haircut that Thomas Massie.”
