Is peace with Putin even possible? In the early days of Russia’s
war on Ukraine, negotiations seemed viable. Then came Bucha and the
revelations of Russian atrocities on Ukrainian soil. Now Russia is
again “putting out feelers” for peace talks – but would
negotiation simply give Putin a chance to consolidate his gains and
regroup for more? Oz Katerji tells the story of the “missed chance”
of peace talks in Istanbul in October 2022, the myth that Boris
Johnson sank them, and the danger of new ceasefire discussions,
especially under Trump. He speaks to Yaroslav Trofimov – Chief
Foreign-Affairs Correspondent of The Wall Street Journal and author
of Our Enemies will Vanish: The Russian Invasion and Ukraine’s War
of Independence – and Brookings Institute fellow Dr
Angela Stent, author of Putin’s World. • “When Ukrainian
forces entered Bucha, that was when everyone realised what happens
under Russian rule… That it is not just a war to replace a
government, it’s a war with genocidal intent.” – Yaroslav
Trofimov • “This war will be decided by which society cracks
first.” – Yaroslav Trofimov • “There are election posters
up in Moscow which say ‘Russia has no borders’… There is no
indication that Russia is serious about a peace deal.”
