Niall Ferguson: "The best is the enemy of the good. Contrary to recent press speculation, the draft 28-point plan for peace in Ukraine is in fact a reasonable basis for negotiations. Journalists can gripe about it as they griped about the 20-point Gaza plan. But wars are not ended by op-eds. Wars are ended either by victory or by compromise. This plan affirms Ukraine's sovereignty. It provides Ukraine with a US-backed security guarantee. It envisages Ukrainian reconstruction. Of course, the territorial terms and the amnesty for war crimes are hard to swallow. But if you want to take back territory and try Putin, you have to win the war. And realistically Ukraine has never been in a position to defeat Russia. The critics should also acknowledge that President Trump has taken some risk here. I do not believe it is in the Ukrainian people's interests for the war to be prolonged for another year. The risks seem to me too great. So I hope Zelensky will use his eloquence to explain why the time is right to negotiate. Ukrainians have fought heroically for their independence. It is now time to consolidate what they have achieved through diplomacy." x.com Tom
