The details of how the CW get under control is going to be key.

Putin had sought to block action under Article VII of the UN Charter, and yet the final deal references Article VII - using force is permissible. That still needs to get Security Council approval to act, but it’s something that Russia had been trying to avoid from the outset.

Giving in on Article VII is huge - and a big blow to what Putin had been pushing, unless he was never really backing that position in the first place.

Still, no one should expect that getting the CW under intl control will be easy, and it’s possible that they could still fall into the wrong hands.
