Any deal between Russia and Ukraine to stop the ongoing war that results in anything less than the status quo ante in February 2014 will inevitably mean that Russian military aggression against and invasion of Ukraine, as well as the other grave violations of international law and the fundamental principles that underpin the European security order, will have been rewarded. What is at stake here is not just Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The war in Ukraine is likely to continue at a high level of intensity through 2022, and at a greater or lesser tempo for years to come.  There are several factors that can prolong the war. The first is that the issues at stake for Ukraine and Russia are existential and are not susceptible to compromise. Ukraine is fighting for its right to self-determination. Its government and people have shown that they are prepared to make great sacrifices to defend their national sovereignty.

The burden of Putin’s war on Ukraine will be borne by average Russian citizens for decades, if not longer. The damage done to Russian society, the economy, its military, its political development, and its international reputation will far out live Putin.

The companies here below are postponing future planned investment/development/marketing in Russia while continuing substantive business.

Germany’s catastrophic reaction to humiliation engendered by the outcome of World War I was not an anomaly but was representative of a broader pattern of international behavior in which states that have experienced certain humiliating events are more likely to engage in international aggression and intentionally defiant foreign policies. Such states will be more apt to pursue territorial conquest, to intervene in the affairs of other states, to engage in diplomatic hostility and verbal discord, and to pursue advanced weaponry and other symbols of national resurgence.
