The New York Times confirmed in an editorial article that the success of any diplomatic negotiations with Russia to end its war on Ukraine that broke out a year ago depends on Moscow accepting the fait accompli, and that it will not be able to subjugate Kiev completely.
The newspaper added that achieving this is linked to the US and its allies not hesitating to provide all possible assistance to Ukraine, to stand against the Russian war machine.
The article stated that it is diplomacy that can achieve "anything resembling a peaceful settlement" viable, highlighting that this should be the goal of the support provided to Ukraine.
This, he explained, is how Europeans can reassert the postwar order that has brought them decades of stability, prosperity and relative security.
The newspaper stressed that the support provided to Ukraine from outside the United States and Europe is very weak, and limits the effectiveness of efforts to punish Russia for its war against Ukraine.
She revealed that the support of democracies for Kiev and the confrontation of a nuclear state has many reasons, including that the West refuses to violate international laws and attack a sovereign state, although Russia mocked the United States' talk about this principle and accuses it of violating it several times, including the invasion of Iraq.
According to the article, accusing the West of provoking Moscow by approaching the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to the Russian borders is an accusation that lacks accuracy, as it was not NATO that rushed to expand eastward, but rather that many countries that suffered from Moscow's "oppressive and brutal" control are Which sought "Western protection", after it began to fear for itself "Russian ambitions".
The article stressed that the end of this war with the emergence of a strong Ukraine from it would be a strong message that the United States will not hesitate to help confront the excesses of tyrannical and authoritarian rulers, and that Washington will not lose its ability to lead as promoted by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
