I see. After Russia's 2014 invasion of Crimea, it's 2018 invasion of eastern Ukraine and the February 2022 full scale invasion of the rest of Ukraine, Putin was willing to "negotiate". You rely on a small think tank that didn't exist before 2019 and which lost internal support for it's dovish response to Russia's invasion. "In 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, there were two resignations in protest at the institute's dovish response to the conflict: non-resident fellow Joseph Cirincione of Ploughshares Fund, who had raised money for Quincy, and board member Paul Eaton, a retired senior Army major officer and adviser to Democratic politicians and liberal advocacy groups. Cirincione said he "fundamentally" disagrees with Quincy experts who "completely ignore the dangers and the horrors of Russia's invasion and occupation and focus almost exclusively on criticism of the United States, NATO, and Ukraine". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quincy_Institute_for_Responsible_Statecraft I prefer more established and respected sources. https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/putins-2022-peace-proposal-was-a-blueprint-for-the-destruction-of-ukraine/ https://www.wsj.com/world/russia-ukraine-peace-deal-2022-document-6e12e093 Putin is trying to rebuild Stalin's empire, and he is destroying Russia in the process.
