Richard Haass: It Is Important That Trump Sees Putin Rather than Zelenskyy as Impediment to Peace

EXCERPT:

HAASS: “I think what's really important is to nail down the position of the Ukrainian government that, in exchange for American military support, they're prepared to compromise not their principles or their long-term goals, but accept some type of an interim or temporary ceasefire. And the reason I say that, so when Donald Trump becomes president, I think it's important that he sees Vladimir Putin rather than Mr. -- President Zelenskyy as the impediment to peace. Because, you know, Donald Trump has talked about how much he wants to bring this war to an end. Well, again, I think it's important that he sees the problem in Moscow and not in Kyiv.”
