The Russian invasion of Ukraine is an unambiguous violation of the UN Charter and international law. NATO’s expansion eastward up to Russia’s borders was seen by Moscow as an existential threat thus prompting its attack. The war continues with no end in sight. The Ukrainian foreign minister says, "Every war ends in a diplomatic way. Every war ends at the negotiating table." That’s no doubt true but Kjiv is imposing preconditions for talks that are highly unlikely to be accepted by Russia.

We need, she says, “negotiations, not escalation."
