Vance: “If you take where the current line of contact between Russia and Ukraine is, we’re going to try to find some negotiated settlement that the Ukrainians and the Russians can live with, where they can live in relative peace, where the killing stops. It’s not going to make anybody super happy.”

“Both the Russians and the Ukrainians, probably at the end of the day, are going to be unhappy with it. But I don’t think you can actually sit down and have this negotiation absent the leadership of Donald J. Trump.”

Whatever lines are set, the hatred between Russia and the West is such that it’s going to require a neutral buffer zone with a neutral police force to monitor and maintain order. I don’t know how the original lines were drawn through an ethnic region but it has caused untold tensions among the local inhabitants. Just the hard policed border where relatives and friends are no longer able to traverse is tragic.
