Richard Haass on Ukraine: There Is Not Gonna Be End to This Fight Any Time Soon

EXCERPT:

HAASS: “There's not going to be an end to this fighting anytime soon for the simple reason, Vladimir Putin wants to prolong the fighting because he thinks continued war serves his interests more than Ukraine's. The fact that the call happened yesterday in and of itself tells you something. It's as if the Ukrainian military action was somehow the problem, forgetting about all the Russian actions day in, day out against Ukrainian civilian targets, against cities and so forth. So, again, the administration is one-sided here. If the president wants to realize his own peace proposal, there's one way to do it. Stop sabotaging it.”
