But US warns against ‘any tactical move by Russia to freeze the war on its own terms’
SIR – I cannot agree with Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, who warns against punishing Russia when the conflict in Ukraine ends.
Russian President Vladimir Putin can’t win his war in Ukraine. Refusing to accept that reality will cost him his grip on power – and it could come sooner than you think.
The war in Ukraine is in its eighth month. The costs of the conflict are massive, but they are also hidden. Still, the dire circumstances somehow bring out the best in human spirit and character.
It would be nonsensical for Ukraine to attempt negotiations with Russia at this moment. Winter is coming for Russian forces in Ukraine, and Ukraine has the battlefield initiative. With Vladimir Putin holding firm to absurd demands as prerequisites for negotiations, the Ukrainians have the easy choice of maintaining offensive pressure.
