For me, I think it goes back 10 years and to what this is all about. I think this is about Ukraine realizing its European future of, ultimately, membership in the European Union, and Ukraine being a free and liberal democratic state and part of Europe.
I think that can happen with territorial concessions, so whether Ukraine has the Donbass or Crimea—at least from my perspective as an American—is not the relevant thing. It is maintaining sovereignty, its democratic status and its European future. I think negotiations can get there, with territorial concessions. It will not be an easy pill to swallow, but I think the focus needs to be on preserving Ukrainian democracy and the Ukrainian freedom to choose its own future.
