Without contacting the Territorial Recruitment Centers: ten border units have been granted the right to independently recruit volunteers into their ranks
04.11.2024 - 13:48The United States should encourage Ukraine to enter negotiations with Russia to freeze the conflict along the front lines.
Haass acknowledges that an ideal outcome would be a Ukrainian victory, with Ukraine reclaiming its borders. However, he believes this is impossible without direct Western involvement, which will not occur, as it would pose a far greater risk.
“Instead of clinging to an unattainable definition of victory, Washington should confront the grim realities of the war and settle for a more plausible outcome. It should continue to define victory as Ukraine maintaining its sovereignty and independence, with the freedom to join any alliances or associations it chooses. But it should abandon the notion that for Kyiv to win, it must reclaim all of its territory. Therefore, as the United States and its allies continue to arm Ukraine, they must take the uncomfortable step of encouraging Kyiv to negotiate with the Kremlin and present a clear outline of how this should proceed,” Haass wrote.
He believes this is the only chance for Ukraine and the world to “avoid a disastrous outcome,” to halt hostilities, and to preserve Ukraine as a genuinely independent country with the potential for recovery.
