A US-mediated peace in Ukraine
Hindustan TimesThe conditional ceasefire agreement that Washington and Moscow are discussing is the most serious attempt to de-escalate the three-year-long war between Russia and Ukraine. Under it, Russia will desist from bombing Ukraine’s energy infrastructure for the next 30 days provided the West accedes to Moscow’s long list of demands, including suspension of all military aid to Kyiv. Any pause in the war is welcome though Kyiv has accused Moscow of trying to scuttle the peace talks: President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed Wednesday that Russia fired several missiles and drones into Ukraine and attacked a power facility linked to the latter’s railways. It is not clear if European nations backing Kyiv have been taken into confidence by the US; in fact, capitals in western Europe have worked separately on plans to boost Ukraine’s security. Since 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine, 174,000-420,000 people have been killed in the war, according to the Uppsala Conflict Data Program, based at Sweden’s Uppsala University, which tracks global civilian and combatant death tolls in conflicts.
