Putin would demand Ukraine never join NATO in any talks with a potential US counterpart, particularly one perceived as weak or easily manipulated.

It’s essentially a demand that a victim disarm, guaranteeing future victimhood. The historical precedent, where Russia disregarded prior agreements following Ukraine’s denuclearization, further underscores the absurdity of expecting good faith from Moscow.… Continue reading
