How do we stop the war? I explain in a long column for Ukrainska Pravda.
The main counterargument from my critics:
Putin doesn't want to negotiate.
That's exactly the premise I started from when I developed my peace plan.
Putin doesn't want to negotiate? Yes.
But let's agree on not firing rockets at kindergartens? Let's make an agreement not just between Ukraine and Russia, but between Ukraine, Russia, the USA, and China.
Let's agree to return the kidnapped children?
Let's agree to even larger prisoner exchanges? (Are they happening right now? That means some things can be agreed with Russia.)
Gradual small agreements will grow into sectoral agreements.
For example, agree on a free Black Sea.
We won't strike them, they won't strike us.
Agree on strikes against energy infrastructure.
And so on.
From such small agreements a large agreement will grow and we will be able to end the war.
Ukraine's future is not in the wall of Europe, but at the center of the world. Where all countries of the world have their interest and gain benefits.
From critics I want to hear an ALTERNATIVE for ending the war.
