Letters to the Editor: ‘Peace in our time,’ appeasement: It’s happening again with Ukraine
LA TimesA Ukrainian serviceman carries an artillery shell to be fired at Russian forces in Ukraine’s Donetsk region on Jan. 23. To the editor: It appears that President Trump’s peace talks with Russian leader Vladimir Putin may take place without the full participation of Ukraine. Upon his return to Britain, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain proclaimed that he had secured “peace in our time.” Winston Churchill, then a member of the House of Commons, harshly condemned this agreement as appeasement, as have historians since then. In 2014, Putin occupied Crimea and backed separatists in the eastern provinces of Ukraine, areas in which Russian speakers make up a large proportion of the population. That is what Putin calls “peace.” Now Trump is preparing for more “peace” by rescinding sanctions on Russia and its oligarchs and abandoning the Ukrainians after they have survived years of Putin’s ongoing war crimes.
