Who says Moscow needs peace?

It seems that due to a lack of knowledge about Ukraine's history, Americans fail to understand several important points:

• Moscow is willing to pay any price and bear any sacrifices for Ukraine, as the existence of an independent Ukraine undermines the very essence of the Kremlin's empire.
• Moscow is not a trustworthy partner and will not fulfill any commitments it makes, instead using them as a pretext for new aggression, not just against Ukraine.
• The mindset of the average collective Putin is stuck somewhere in the 15th-16th centuries, where seizing foreign territories is seen as valor and honor, while the value of human life and dignity is nearly nonexistent to them.

And now the most important question.

Who said Moscow wants peace? They’re doing just fine right now. The Kremlin has realized that their nuclear threats work, the West has cowered in fear, and no new Churchill or Reagan is on the horizon.
