If there was any legit effort to find peace, they would be getting Zelenski and Putin together , instead of Trump and Putin, who will conspire to hide Trump's fear of Putin with phony pronouncements and threats, which will amount to nothing.
As will any agreement, document, treaty or single ply toilet tissue printed in Russian fecal ink (aka
The Ruble)
Russia is, and always has been the equivalent of Asian Leolist advertisers!
Putin and Russia even fuck over their closest allies. Iran saved Russia from earlier defeat by supplying millions of tons of missiles, artillery, drones etc in exchange for direct and indirect support ...and cash money or gold.
Russia has since knocked off the Shaheed drone, improved it, made it cheaper and will soon render Iran's Shaheed's obsolete. And they didn't even pay their bill for the arms, nor the licensing fee for the drones! Never mind doing much more than write the equivilant of a TERB forum post saying they objected to the US/Israeli bombing them out of the nuclear age.
As always, Russia talks big bullshit, signs bullshit promises in disappearing Sharpie ink it never intends to live up to, and then doesn't pay, nor live up to its promises. No wonder Trump worships the toilet paper Putin shits on.
"...But a Western intelligence source says the expansion and the complete Russian integration of the Shahed-136, have effectively marginalized Iran, revealing a rift between Moscow and Tehran. They say Tehran has been growing increasingly impatient with the little return it’s received from Russia, despite having supported Moscow’s war effort with not just drones, but missiles and other assets.
That discontent effectively boiled over throughout Israel’s 12-day bombing campaign of targeting Iran’s nuclear weapons program in June, during which Russia’s statements of condemnation were seen as paltry support for a country that has been helping Moscow since the start of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
....
But Russia’s distant approach was not surprising for the Western intelligence official CNN spoke with, who argued it showed the “purely transactional and utilitarian nature” of Russian cooperation with Iran.
“This explicit disengagement demonstrates that Russia never intervenes beyond its immediate interests, even when a partner – here an essential supplier of drones – is attacked,” they said.

Dareini says Russia’s predatory behavior is not surprising and describes the relationship between the two countries as “both cooperation and competition.”
“It’s obvious that Russians want more, to get more and give less, and this is this applies to Iran as well,” he explained. “Iran has provided Russia with drones and technology and the factory, and it has not been for free.”
But in the process of expanding, the official says, Alabuga has been unable to meet obligations to its Iranian partners. According to them, in addition to the loss of control over the final product, Iranian authorities and companies, namely Sahara Thunder, have complained that some payments have not been made, in part because of the suffocating international sanctions the Russian economy has been under for more than three years.
“These obstacles add to Tehran’s frustration with the blockages hindering the transfer of Russian aeronautical technologies to Iran, which were promised by Moscow in exchange for its support,” the official added.
