Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski said Russia needs Ukraine to "become a superpower": I believe American negotiators are making a mistake in believing that this war is only about territory. This is reflected in their statements - they say that if Ukraine gives up the last two cities in the Donbass, Putin will consider that he can get out of the situation while keeping face. And then the war will end. So there might be some pause, because I agree with that. By the way, Norman Davis said this 30 years ago, that the Soviet Union minus Ukraine is Russia without the status of a great power. To be a world power, Russia needs Ukraine.
