Some very relevant questions and observations from William Astore on the Russia-Ukraine War

Item #14 raises a sensible point about diplomatic initiatives:

A U.S. policy decision to work for a negotiated truce and peace could conceivably lead to an end to fighting. That truce/peace could be couched in terms of avoiding a wider war that could escalate to nuclear weapons, while still upholding Ukraine’s right to exist and to pursue its own form of government. Of course, the devil would be in the details with respect to the terms of the truce/treaty. Why isn’t the U.S. working to advance this?

There have been some recent signs that are somewhat hopeful in terms of negotiations. But these are the kinds of questions that citizens and parliamentary bodies in the US and Europe should be asking in a serious way.
