Anatol Lieven analyzes the current geopolitical situation between Ukraine, Russia, and the U.S., suggesting that Ukraine must recognize lost territories occupied by Russia in recent conflicts. He argues that the U.S. proposal represents a practical compromise, which should be accepted by both nations amid shifting battle lines. Lieven points out that Russia appears to have abandoned its goal of total occupation and is willing to engage in a ceasefire. He also emphasizes that Europe has not presented a viable solution to resolve the conflict effectively.
The unfortunate compromise deal offered by the United States should be accepted by both Russia and Ukraine, as it reflects the current realities of the conflict.
Ukraine's leaders must acknowledge that the territories occupied by Russia over the past years are effectively lost and rethink their strategy accordingly.
Russia has conceded to a ceasefire on the current battle lines, signaling a retreat from its initial ambitions to occupy all of Ukraine.
Lieven suggests that Europe lacks a serious offer to effectively mediate and bring an end to the ongoing fighting between Ukraine and Russia.
