  1. That is short. Even if you made it clear you’d welcome more, it shows how far society has fallen in its standards that anybody could consider this long.

  2. Putin blaming the West for “the Bucha provocation” shows how much of his argument remain brazen lies. They are also founded on the idea he and Russia are one and the same. He knows that 🇺🇦 was never a military threat to 🇷🇺, but rather a threat in terms of the idea that if it became a prosperous democracy it would undermine his governance model. And that’s very different than him believing Ukraine and the West are a threat even if it wasn’t absurd to begin with.

  3. Putin knows his demands are not just unrealistic, but politically impossible for Zelensky even if, he personally, were willing. It shows he still has no idea how bad things are and how much is still being hidden from him. Moreover, In 2021, he also issued an ultimatum demanding NATO withdraw back to its 1997 borders and pledge to never give membership to Ukraine,m and Georgia or allow the Baltics to re-enter + that he would determine where they could place their bases in Europe. Basically, he was always looking for a conflict. This alone is reason enough why the West should know that they cannot include Putin in any peace plan and therefore the only option is to wait until he is no longer in power to formally cement any agreement. It also shows vastly he overestimated his military strength and his energy leverage.
