The responsibility for what happens next in Ukraine in coming days & weeks lies in the people sitting around this table. Russia’s aggression to Ukraine is first & foremost a European problem. If we want a place at the other table, we need to have clear goals & a credible plan.

the current difficulties should not equate to pessimism but rather lead to action. We just need to look around and see how others facing more stringent & demanding environments remain hopeful and keep fighting to better their odds. Ukraine & Ukrainians are an example to emulate.

The so called “peace plan” collapses already in point 3 (ignoring the drafting of point 2, of course!): “It is expected that Russia will not invade neighbouring countries…” Excuse me? Is this the guarantee that Moscow will not invade Ukraine again or any other county?
