Land for Peace: Should Ukraine concede territory to Russia? | To the point

The much-anticipated Ukrainian counteroffensive has so far achieved little. What many experts have feared for long, is gradually turning into reality:

The war is likely to result in a frozen conflict or an apparent truce.

The latest announcements that Denmark and the Netherlands will deliver F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine are also unlikely to change this scenario.

Some voices in the West have already started to suggest that Ukraine give up land to Russia in return for NATO membership – an idea that Ukraine has called ‘ridiculous’.

Meanwhile, Russia is trying to win new friends at the BRICS summit and is yet again blaming the West for Ukraine’s fate.

So, on To The Point, we are asking: Land for Peace: Should Ukraine concede territory to Russia?

Our guests: Göran Swistek military analyst (SWP), Miriam Kosmehl, expert on Eastern Europe (Bertelsmann) and Roman Goncharenko (DW)
