Russia still refuses to even allow western military troops to be inside of Ukraine post-war, that alone should be enough to show this dumb fucker that Russia's "concession" is horseshit, they want to continue but they don't want pesky Western soldiers getting in the way of their bullets. They're aiming for a Budapest Memorandum 2.0, a vague piece of paper promising shit but having ultimately no consequences for breaking it. Let countries give vague promises of "support" if Ukraine is attacked again, Russia "promises" their territorial integrity, then they break it again when they replenish their military. If they were serious about Ukraine's "territorial integrity" they would be accepting of Western troops inside of Ukraine to ensure it happens considering they've broken their commitments multiple times before.
Pointless and vague promises, words are not concessions, like Trump's stupid as fuck administration believes, an actual concession would be something like Russia leaving an entire Oblast as a show of good faith and that would be the fucking bare minimum and they can't even get that, can't even get Russia to leave Kherson or Zaporizhia and they don't even control the capitals of those two Oblasts! Something we can physically see in action, not Russia making the exact same fucking promise they made 20+ years ago which they broke!
According to Trump's admin, a concession is Russia keeping everything they've stolen (20%-ish of Ukraine), having sanctions partially lifted, not allowing Ukraine in NATO, not having American troops in Ukraine, but at least Russia "promised" to not be a dickhead again in the future, they're making such a hard concession, a concession of words!
