Opinion by David Ignatius: The best peace plan for Ukraine is sending military support
A crate filled with mortars is pictured in footage said to show combat with Russian troops near the Kyiv region in Moshchun, Ukraine.
Military support for Ukraine is the best peace plan, in other words. Already, Ukraine’s valiant defense has led Putin to soften his initial war demands. A “peace process” is underway, involving would-be mediators from Israel, Germany, France and other nations. Let’s hope this can produce a cease-fire before too long. But any real settlement will require Putin to change course — not just to save Ukraine, but to save Russia.
. Europe has not retreated before Russian demands; instead, it’s more united than at any time since 1945. The United States is not leaderless and dysfunctional; Biden has mumbled his way to bipartisan support.Putin’s reckless gamble has failed, and the longer he continues the war — and razes the cities of Ukraine — the deeper and longer-lasting this failure will become.should be a platform for the dual campaign ahead: He should reaffirm U.S.
But the United States doesn’t need to fight World War III to destroy Russian power. Putin is destroying himself. The longer the war goes on, the less will remain of Russia’s military and economic might. Putin’s regime is self-liquidating, if the United States and its allies can help Ukraine stay in the fight. Ukraine doesn’t need to win; like Gen. George Washington in the Revolutionary War, it just needs to survive.
