Is that what Western propaganda told you, or what the Kremlin said?

How do you know Russia's objectives?

I think your terms are unrealistic, while mine are a bit more feasible and, yet, I still think Russia would not agree to them.
Remember that Putin needs to come out of this as the apparent winner ( in the propaganda filled nation of his). Either that or the whole Russian system gets replaced from within (or by NATO) which will not happen.
