The tragic sacrifice of thousands of young Ukrainians in an ill-advised and long delayed counteroffensive against Russian forces in Ukraine.

There are many peace initiatives to end the war in Ukraine being pursued by leaders and countries around the world as the United States clings to its dogged determination to prolong the war at great cost in Ukrainian lives and at the risk of nuclear war.

This intervention by an important group of U.S. national security experts comes at a time when Ukraine is delaying its long-promised spring offensive to avoid "unacceptable" losses, and a return to the negotiating table can therefore save countless lives.

China’s moves in the Middle East and apparent endorsement of Putin’s imperialist goals in Ukraine necessitate a response from the West.
