There is no doubt that personal connections and relationships play a significant role in the development of relations between politicians and countries. However, at the end of the day, #Putin is responsible for the invasion of #Ukraine. It's one thing to play by the rules of engagement during conflicts before 2022 (except for the invasion of #Crimea), but it's another to break those rules. Our administration must highlight these shortcomings in front of #Putin to gain more concessions from the #Kremlinites.

Otherwise, we're bound to repeat the mistakes of history, which will only weaken our position. We must remember the catastrophic deals of the past that led to #WWII and the #ColdWar. The first mistake was giving up #Czechoslovakia in the #MunichAgreement of 1938 by #France and #Chamberlain, and the second was during the #YaltaConference of 1945, which allowed the #USSR to maintain control over #Poland. Now, we must verify whether #Putin would honor any agreement at all. 👀
