The article discusses the emerging consensus among diplomats and analysts regarding a proposed resolution to the Ukrainian war through a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) along an adjusted border. It points out that Ukraine's military is incapacitated, lacking the strength to reclaim territories like Crimea and the Donbas, which were absorbed by Russia in 2014. It suggests that the West must find ways to deter Russian aggression while keeping Ukrainian forces armed. Ultimately, the strategy hinges on recognizing the limitations of Ukraine while reinforcing its defensive capabilities.
President Trump’s approach to the Ukraine conflict shows a shift toward acknowledging the reality that Ukraine will not reclaim territories taken by Russia, therefore necessitating a new strategy.
Despite Trump's criticisms, many Western diplomats now call for a robust DMZ to acknowledge existing border realities while keeping Ukraine armed to deter future Russian aggression.
