Ukraine and Russia “should agree to a truce,” the recent interview with General Andrey Mordvichev, one of Russia’s top commanders in Ukraine, should give you pause.
Asked about the war’s expected duration, he said the quiet part out loud: There is still “plenty of time.”
A true realism cannot shy away from the fact Russia’s officialdom does not recognize nations in its vicinity as sovereign. As a result, any deal that some would like to foist upon Ukraine would be short-lived, as long as the Kremlin remains committed to this vision. But while withdrawing those lifelines would certainly alienate Ukraine, it would not necessarily stop the fight. More likely, it would force Ukrainians to turn for help elsewhere — and wageCritics are correct. Our assistance to Ukraine does not come cheap — something Ukrainians and our allies in Poland keenly appreciate. But it is much cheaper than the alternatives.
