would last only a few days. They didn’t expect the war to last, or that it would ever reach the one-year mark. And yet, now it has.
But now, in a world of raging inflation, scarce resources and other economic hardships, many politicians are looking for a way out. Sadly, a negotiated settlement is all but impossible. Mr. Putin has no capacity or motivation to compromise, and he won’t accept any outcome other than total victory for his murderous land grab. For Mr. Putin, there is no going back.

Even if Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was willing to compromise – and he isn’t – 80 per cent of Ukrainians wouldn’t support it.would not be over. Mr. Putin’s next step would be to invade Estonia, Latvia or Poland – all NATO countries. If that were to happen, the prospect of a direct war with Russia becomes all but certain.
