“As peace in Ukraine struggles to be born after three-and-a-half years of war, necessity prompts each of the participants in different ways. For Ukraine to achieve its best possible outcome, it must find a diplomatic way to avoid outright military defeat. Russia, by contrast, does not feel compelled to end the war for military reasons, and, if it is to end it diplomatically, it must reach at least the key diplomatic goals it entered the war to achieve.” (09/09/25)
