It is the beginning of something, and it contains some vital bits that are fundamental to peace. By Thanksgiving, they need to agree to negotiate THOSE points. To get to AKSHUAL peace, will take another six months, according to Larry Johnson and Ray McGovern. But signing an intention to negotiate is a foundational step. (Steppe, hehe).
But, I think we must not get invested in any number, or line on the map - that is: each point has to be hammered out. Geography will be decided in batttle, that will not end until it ends, when is that? When the Russian side of the SMO has achieved its outcomes, which is grinding towards that goal. The Russians have all entire four oblasts written into their constitution. The people within, that is those living on the ground, have voted to BE part of Russia. Russia's government is now obliged to secure the borders, because the people in those oblasts deserve to live in peace and safe from Ukrainian bombs. That's not negotiable. Also, those people are receiving Russian aid, benefits, and passports already. (Remember that Ukraine cut those people off from water, money and electricity, and started shelling them for speaking Russian, so they hardly have a say in what happens next to those people. my opinion). BTW, Mariupol has just opened its port to international traffic, so while guys were fighting, others were building infrastructure behind the lines.)
The Ukrainians think they own the land, that they will not be sovereign without those 'temporarily occupied' lands, and that Russian speakers should just leave those lands. Sorry, that boat sailed during Catherine the Great's reign. Oh, and let's not forget that the Soviets pumped inordinate amounts of money into that part of then-USSR. So, Ukrainians were never sovereign, the Soviet collapse was exploited (cough: CIA, MI6 - sorry had something in my throat), to fill their heads with the grandeur of some figment of a theory of 'sovereignty'. Judging by the amount of support the Ukrainians demand (and steal, and salt away), they ain't sovereign now either. It's a bit like a teenager who steals food and money, does not pick up the washing from his floor, and instead sells the phone you gave him for drugs, and then demands to be left alone because you are always bugging him.
Rumor has it that Zelenski is not only demanding that he and his cronies keep the money they stole, but also demanding there to be no audit. Trump should not agree to this for all the lives that were destroyed.
Please, dear God, make this true. Amen

Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the sons of God
No President has secured more peace than President Trump. God's favor is upon him.
Rumor has it that Zelenski is not only demanding that he and his cronies keep the money they stole, but also demanding there to be no audit. Trump should not agree to this for all the lives that were destroyed.
Besides, Larry Johnson mentioned it was 48 Billion, which could go well in a re-building fund. Ahem.
Maybe it'll be Thanksgiving for the World this year.
How awesome would that be?
