Steven Arrazola de Oñate wrote that Trump was right according to him, and that Volodymyr Zelensky should have reached an agreement earlier. He suggested that European leaders should have focused more on negotiations from the beginning and had to face the military situation; this could have possibly prevented a lot of human suffering. According to Arrazola de Oñate, Russia occupied about a fifth of Ukrainian territory and the war had reportedly claimed nearly two million military casualties, including dead, wounded, and missing. He believed that European politicians and media did not fundamentally question their strategy nonetheless. Arrazola de Oñate wrote that he never believed Ukraine could win the war militarily and that he did not expect the country to reclaim all the lost territory. He acknowledged that his position could provoke negative reactions and stated that he wanted more European leaders to express what he called uncomfortable truths. He also asked how many lives would still be sacrificed before diplomacy took precedence over political rhetoric. #Oorlog #Diplomatie #Vrede (translated)
