Of course. Putin's reneged on every single treaty and agreement so far, why should Ukraine trust him now?
He thought deceit and lying was the smart thing to do. Now it's biting him in the ass. Maybe Russian novelists just wrote what they saw? It took forever but their books are long.
They are absolutely right.
I came to that conclusion awhile ago once russia started in on their bullshit.
Once again, "stop defending yourself" continues to fail at being a negotiation.
