Even if Trump secures Ukraine-Russia peace deal, can Putin be trusted?

After Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire to end Russia's war, security experts warn this peace deal will have historic implications and must account for Putin's repeated treaty violations.
Russia under Putin has repeatedly violated formal international agreements intended to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty, chiefly from its former Soviet overlord. Caitlin McFall is a Reporter at Fox News Digital covering Politics, U.S. and World news.
These agreements include the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, in which Ukraine agreed to relinquish its nuclear arsenal in exchange for assurances over its territorial integrity after its 1991 withdrawal from the Soviet Union, as well as the 1997 Treaty on Friendship, Cooperation, and Partnership by which Moscow and Kyiv agreed to respect one another’s existing borders. Both deals were first violated in 2014 when Putin seized Crimea and backed Russian separatist forces in the Donbas region.
