And no one can trust Krasnov.
I have no knowledge of how the political world works but even I don't think putin will agree to anything other than the total surrender of Ukraine. Why would any country give in to putin? I believe that russia needs to be defeated and driven back behind their border. If putin gets any Ukrainian territory we are rewarding him. Putin will not stop.

Something definitely happened in Alaska. Did putin give Krasnov his order on how to hand Ukraine over to russia? Did putin and Krasnov agree to split all the Ukrainian riches? Krasnov says "I think he wants to make a deal for me. As crazy as that sounds " A deal"for me" not Ukraine. Is putin going to pretend peace or a ceasefire long enough for Krasnov to get a noble peace prize?

Krasnov and putin are cooking something up. And it's going to be to benefit Krasnov and Putin.

This whole fake diplomacy shit is making me sick to my stomach.

Sorry rambling it's early and only one cup of coffee
