Retired Vice Adm. Robert Murrett, Deputy Director of the Institute for Security Policy and Law contributed the opinion article The Path to Peace in Ukraine Will Start on Ukrainian Terms” at The Hill.
In the article, Murrett recounts the impact of the war in Ukraine as it nears its one-year mark, including the geopolitical situation and the imperatives for ending the war.
Murrett concludes, “Ukraine presents a threat to Putin and his inner circle because of their warfighting skills, but more importantly because of what they stand for: an open, free and authentic democracy, and a proud people determined to choose their own destiny and to protect that right for future generations of Ukrainians. That reality represents a genuine, long-term, and existential threat to the Kremlin leadership.”
