The Prospects for a Peace Deal

There's chatter in Moscow that Putin won't stand for reelection next year because it's presidential elections. That he'll actually step down and that somebody else, a bit more, and considerate will be put in charge like governor of the Moscow war blast. I mean, this theory appeals to me because it's just a pragmatic way out. And then Putin remains in charge, but behind the scenes, which we've seen in pretty much every single Central Asian country is the way it's done. But they're still keen to restart gas exports to the West with talk turned to making Turkey into a gas hub.
