The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

Pomerantsev se domnívá, že Rusko se jen tak nevzdá své snahy dobýt více ukrajinského území. Má prý pocit, že na bojišti dělá pokroky a návrhy mírových dohod může Američany držet ve hře.

The media needs to rethink its role in protecting democracy — rather than just chronicling its demise.

Vyjednavači Spojených států a Ukrajiny v Ženevě zpřesnili dokument, který má ukončit válku s Ruskem. „Pro Ukrajinu to ve srovnání s těmi hroznými návrhy, co byly vydány před měsícem, je vlastně o něco lepší. Pořád je to absurdní, protože je to napsáno, jako by Rusko v podstatě dobylo Kyjev. Ale skutečným poraženým je Evropa,“ upozorňuje britsko-americký novinář Peter Pomerantsev pro Český rozhlas Plus.
