Articles and Reporting
An article from the Institute for the Study of War persuasively arguing that the West should not – and, indeed, cannot – accept any outcome except a Ukrainian victory, as such a result would leave Ukraine economically weakened and permanently threatened while emboldening the Kremlin and rewarding Putin’s violation of international and humanitarian law.
“The Lands Ukraine Must Liberate,” retrieved from the Institute for the Study of War.
