Quick Summary

This analysis piece explores Ukraine's prerequisite for a peace agreement with Moscow, which requires a deal to prevent Russia from restarting the war in five, 10, or 15 years. The text argues that Ukraine's stance is shaped by historical context and Russia's perception of Ukraine as a limb of its "imperium." The author frames this as a necessary measure to counter Russia's long-term ambitions.
