… History shows that taking Russia’s promises of peace at face value is an extremely risky proposition. Historically, such decisions have inevitably led to catastrophe and further bloodshed since the underlying problems of Russian aggressive imperial policies have never been solved. True accountability was never part of the equation. The fate of Chechnya shows one of the most clear-cut scenarios of Russia’s political tactics: sue for peace, recover its military strength, and come back for a second decisive attack. The Chechens fought Russia to near-defeat in the first war, then believed Moscow’s safety assurances. In two years, the Chechen capital was all but obliterated, and Chechnya was entirely subjugated by Moscow …
There will be no peace as long as Putin is in power. Any ‘peace agreement’ will end up in a new war after some time.
