Putin engages in backchannel talks, aiming for a "peace" on his terms
The Security Council is a collective body, and Putin, it seems, decided to shield himself behind certain collective decisions. We don’t know what those decisions are, but he is, as always, afraid to make personal decisions. Even now.
All of this is reminiscent of the eve of the war, when Putin gathered the Security Council.
Only, then, he was confident in himself and mocked Naryshkin and others. This time, there were no live broadcasts. But his entourage, albeit formally, still had to support him.
In reality, he has always been a coward. And he will die a coward.
