War in Ukraine
The war, which lasted three years and brought endless grief and destruction to the country, could have ended after a few months under the same conditions it will conclude with in the coming months—avoiding hundreds of thousands of deaths and immense devastation.
I know many Ukrainians. In the early months of the war, I spoke of a compromise similar to the one now taking shape, but my Ukrainian friends were offended, so I remained silent. Today, they admit I was right.
