Thank you for your comments on the efforts of western pundits and academics to force Ukraine into a peace settlement before they have-deoccupied most of their land. It is really time that these pseudo-supporters of Ukraine be called out!!! Most of their so called "realist" arguments have nothing to do with reality but rather are reductionist, superficial and simplistic. The last thing they have in mind are Ukraine's interests, but rather their own.

I am especially angry with Anatol Lieven and the Quincy Institute he represents. LIeven is a brilliant scholar who knows the region well. How can his viewpoints on the Minsk Accords, NATO expansion, and Ukrainian democracy continually match with those of the Kremlin? How can he still be supporting these viewpoints after Putin's 2021 essay on Ukraine's lack of legitimacy, and now the invasion of 2022? Something is deeply wrong.
