Trump is right to pursue peace, but not like this
-
When Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin meet in Alaska on Friday they will apparently discuss ending or freezing the war in Ukraine by “swapping” parcels of land in Ukraine. From what is known of the plan, it would be immoral and unworkable for Ukraine and Europe, but also a recipe for global instability. If Trump wants a Nobel peace prize, this is not how to go about it.
The war is at a stalemate and has been for months. On isolated sections of a 1,000km front line Russia is making slow progress but at terrible cost. Reliable casualty numbers do not exist, but an estimate by the Center for Strategic and International Studies in June put Russian war deaths since February 2022 at 250,000 compared with between 60,000 and 100,000 on the Ukrainian side (and 15,000 Russian soldiers killed in the Soviet Union’s 10-year occupation of Afghanistan).
