President Zelenskyy and Ukrainians are victims in this war. They were invaded. Russia is the aggressor that destroyed a long honored agreement when Ukrainian nukes were dismantled. Russia and Trump should be asking what it will take for Ukraine to have their sense of national security back.
The majority of European countries are also victims to the failure of that Ukraine agreement with Russia regarding nukes. Europe was without concern and are now faced with threats to their own national security. All because Russia aggressively rolled tanks into Ukraine after it was fully disarmed of nuclear weapons while Crimea was occupied in 2014 by Russia.
There is a lot of ground for Russia to cover as the USA has obligations for national security of Europe through the NATO alliance. So, Russia needs to get out of its own way and allow Ukraine legal status with NATO. Any peace agreement must return Ukraine’s sovereignty over its land with guarantees it will have an alliance with other countries the Ukrainians consider friendly. Russia can be one of the friendly nations by returning to earlier agreements guaranteeing Ukraine’s safely and peaceful trading partners. War with Russia can never be a problem again.
Russia has disrupted the entirety of two continents burgeoning on three since 2014 when considering the Middle East. It has to stop and allow security and economic growth between countries. No more brutal
Interference.
NATO has worked diligently to eliminate the Russian threat until the invasion into Crimea and years later into Donbas. There is no destruction of NATO and its benevolence. That is like throwing away nearly a century of growth and investment.
There is no threat to Russian speaking people, only propaganda. The war could end today if Russia cooperates with a peace initiative. The tensions between Russia and the Post Soviet States ends with Ukraine’s peace.
