No sooner had I read the text of the Peace plan in The Financial Times ths morning after breakfast, than producers at Iran’s Press TV reached out to request a 9am interview and catch my first impressions. It was pleasant to be back on air with Teheran, since I have the highest regard for their professional journalism.
Press TV (Iran) interview on the 28-point Peace Plan this morning

Gilbert Doctorow's latest book, "War Diaries. The Russia-Ukraine War, 2022-2023" is a unique contribution to literature on the war thanks to the author's reports on the Russian home front written during his periodic visits to St Petersburg at a time when Russia no longer issued visas and nearly all Western journalists had left the country. Doctorow's two-volume "Memoirs of a Russianist" published in 2020 also constitutes a category of its own, consisting largely of diary entries rather than reminiscences written decades later.. Volume 2 focuses on the community of 50,000 expatriate managers working and living in Moscow during the 1990s, about which none of his peers has yet to write. Gilbert Doctorow is a professional Russia watcher and actor in Russian affairs going back to 1965. He is a magna cum laude graduate of Harvard College (1967), a past Fulbright scholar, and holder of a Ph.D. with honors in history from Columbia University (1975). After completing his studies, Mr. Doctorow pursued a business career focused on the USSR and Eastern Europe. For twenty-five years he worked for US and European multinationals in marketing and general management with regional responsibility. From 1998-2002, Doctorow served as the Chairman of the Russian Booker Literary Prize in Moscow. During the 2010-2011 academic year, he was a Visiting scholar of the Harriman Institute, Columbia University. Mr. Doctorow is a long-time resident of Brussels. View all posts by gilbertdoctorow

Hmm, I don’t think the Ukrainians and Eurocrats will live up to it. Presuming assuming the Americans are agreement capable, which they almost certainly aren’t.
With the frontline slowly crumbling, Ukrainian infrastructure breaking down, an increasingly moribund Kiev regime and bankrupt patrons. Whom couldn’t go to war if they wanted to.
Russia has scant need to stop short of a victory, which solves the Ukrainian issue permanently. By ending it’s horrifically failed statehood.
