"How to understand whether peace can be made with Putin

...What you need to know to understand whether peace can be made with Putin: 

The Ukrainian delegation led by Rustem Umerov has departed for Florida, where it will hold talks with Marco Rubio, Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner. 

The composition of the American delegation is determined by Trump's political style. In this sense, it's surprising that, along with the 47th president's friend, business partner, and golf buddy, Witkoff, and his son-in-law, Kushner, a real professional official—Secretary of State Rubio—will be participating in the negotiations. In other words, the American side will be represented by one adult. However, he must act prudently, lest the son-in-law complain to the father-in-law. 

The reality is that Vitkoff and Kushner will try to persuade Ukraine to accept as many of Russia's conditions as possible (preferably, all 28, in their view), while Ukrainian representatives must politely insist, expressing gratitude to the 47th president for his extraordinary efforts at every turn. 

 

The reality is that the war can only end in one of two ways: either Ukraine agrees to all Russian conditions, meaning it agrees to capitulate (which is what Vitkoff and Kushner would prefer), or Russia is faced with the fact that it no longer has the resources to continue the war due to a collapsing economy and a lack of money. 

 

Those looking for something in between these two options will find only some version of the infamous Munich Agreement of September 30, 1938, which opened the gates to the hell of World War II..."
