@chriss521 ‘300,000 Might Be Alive, and Ukraine Not Destroyed’
Already there are prominent voices in Ukraine that blame America for this. They say that by forcing the Ukrainian government to walk away from the Istanbul talks, we locked in the ensuing deaths of hundreds of thousands of young people.
Oleksii Arestovych, who participated in the talks as a top aide to President Zelensky, is among those who have confirmed they were on the verge of ending the war after just a few weeks of fighting.
“Let me tell you, the Istanbul peace initiatives were really not bad [for Ukraine],” he said. The only sticking point, he said, was Russian insistence that Ukraine not formally join NATO. “They said, ‘No NATO, not under any circumstances, that is a red line for us’.”
“But if only [Ukraine had accepted that condition], some 200,000 or, how many, 300,000, might be alive today. And half of Ukraine would not have been destroyed, or turned into a minefield.”
