> would putin accept this i think the more prudent question is would nato even be able to support it, which is a resounding no. also this isn't a genuine offer of peace, and not just because he knows putin wouldn't agree and nato couldn't support such a large continuous deployment. the offer alone is objectively disingenuous because 200,000+ troops is not a peacekeeping force, it's a forward staging area for a future invading army. if he was being sincere he'd ask for a single division, say 20 to 40,000 troops.
