Putin would never agree to it. Why would he risk the lives of thousands of Russian fighters again, if at the end of it (SMO) NATO and EU filled Ukraine back up with fire power. The very essence of the Russian SMO was to demilitarise Ukraine and denazify it. Since the US lead coup in 2014/2015, 14,000 Russian speaking civilians living and working in the Donbass, were murdered by the Ukraine military. Russian churches were burnt down, schools and hospitals were attacked, and terrible atrocities occurred. Anyone speaking Russian were jailed. The SMO was to rescue Russians caught on the wrong side after the coup. Not long after the start of the SMO, a referendum was held and people caught in the Donbass voted overwhelmingly to move into Russia for their safety and peace.
