There has been much talk recently about who should concede what, which side should make overtures, and what compromises might be possible. But in the fifth year of hostilities between Russia and Ukraine, one thing is absolutely clear: there can be only one “compromise” — an immediate ceasefire agreement, followed by negotiations and diplomacy. All the deeply contentious issues will in all likelihood require months, and possibly years, of painful negotiations — through intermediaries and directly. Negotiations will not succeed if large-scale hostilities continue alongside them — no result will be achieved. A ceasefire is needed, and lives must be saved. This is critically necessary.
Grigory Yavlinsky spoke about the dangers of the absence of a ceasefire agreement and the continuation of hostilities in an interview with Marianna Minsker on RTVi. The full conversation is in the video.
