I listened to an interview recently, I believe on BBC, where the interviewee said the biggest issue with peace talks is that the international community isn't able to trust Putin to keep his word on whatever is agreed upon. I hadn't considered that, but it makes a lot of sense and I'm not sure how that could change
Russia won't be trustworthy until Putin and his fascist United Russia party are gone.

NATO is purely a defense agreement.
Tell that to Libya.

It is more like saying the axis is known to invade nations because its member states invade nations. Okay, sure, Germany and Italy invaded the soviet union but Japan didn't, you can't say they're not a defensive alliance /s
Who was the interviewee?

It will change when the cancer finally kills that bastard.
