Wow!!! The WSJ is finally willing to talk about Ukrainian realism:

"Nobody wants to talk about territorial concessions, but Russia isn’t going to surrender Crimea or, it seems, most of the Donbas, where historically pro-Russian populations lend a patina of legitimacy to some of Moscow’s claims. Some kind of conditional—perhaps deliberately ambiguous—territorial deal, or at least a truce along acceptable front lines, will be needed. It’s a messy solution that falls short of Mr Zelensky’s aims but is better than years of war.

Mr. Zelensky will need incentives for such a deal—offering to help rebuild the country through some new Marshall Plan—though we shouldn’t forget that for 20 years Ukraine was among the worst-performing and most corrupt European nations. Americans need assurances that the blank check they have given courageous Ukrainian fighters won’t be replaced by one payable to fat Ukrainian oligarchs."

I never met a piece of chocolate I didn't like.
