Usually, the war can not be stopped just by taking a flight to the side that's initiating it and telling them to stop. We need more than that.

There's been dozens and dozens (if not more) of diplomatic talks which Putin all sabotaged.

Putin lying that there would not be any wars was just one talk among others, probably the most memorable and iconic of the war.

What is Putin bringing to the table this time to guarantee that it won't end up like the other times?
