Exactly. This reminds me Munich Agreement. Hitler got Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia because west was afraid of war. And yet he still started the war. It was even easier for him because Czechoslovakia was without system of border fortifications.

This is what Putin wants now. Defenseless Central and Eastern Europe. If he wants this agreement he needs to sacrifice something as well, so we have guarantees. He needs to get rid of nukes.
