Jeffrey Sachs: A Negotiated End to Fighting in Ukraine Is the Only Real Way to End the Bloodshed

- With the war in Ukraine now in its 10th month, Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Joe Biden have both expressed openness to peace talks to end the fighting, as have leaders in France, Germany and elsewhere. This comes as millions of Ukrainians brace for a winter without heat or electricity due to Russian strikes on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure. "This war needs to end because it's a disaster for everybody, a threat to the whole world," says economist and foreign policy scholar Jeffrey Sachs, director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University. He says four major issues need to be addressed to end the war: Ukraine's sovereignty and security, NATO enlargement, the fate of Crimea and the future of the Donbas region.

Did Macron only realize now that “negotiations are the only way to end this conflict”? The rest of the world figured this out from 2014.
The US provoked the war, and sustains the war. Without the US the war would not have started and without the US sending Boris to Kiev in april the war would have ended. The US does not want the war to end yet. The rest of the world doesn't matter.
@@mgronich948 Please provide evidence that US sent Boris to Kiev or stop spreading BS.
@@rezakarampour6286 Ukrainians wanted the Putin Puppet gone is the truth!
Because they see Russia about to bring in the mobilized soldiers. That will gain Russia more territory. If they take odessa to transnistria game is over.
Macron did, however doubt the weapons of mass destruction, in Iraq 2002. Yet American rejects responded with "freedom fries". History is on Macron's side. By the by, French Fries were of Belgian origin.
Focusing on finding ethics and honesty in Lindsay Graham would have been a futile endeavor since he lacks both qualities. Instead, my main concern lies in navigating the current economic and global difficulties and ensuring stability, especially given the ongoing political power struggle in the United States.
My main concern now is how can we generate more revenue during quantitative times? I can't afford to see my savings crumble to dust.
It's a delicate season now, so you can do little or nothing on your own. Hence I’ll suggest you get yourself a financial expert that can provide you with valuable financial information and assistance.
I’ve really been considering arriving at a portfolio-consultant, my 401k and stocks been losing all that it's acquired beginning around 2019, mind assuming that I looked-into this one mentor you use?
@Mark Lofgren Thank you for this tip. it was easy to find your coach. Did my due diligence on her before scheduling a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her resume..
Researched her accreditation. She seem very proficient, I wrote her detailing my Fin-market goals and scheduled a call.

Negotiating with Putin will be as fruitful as Negotiating with Hitler was.
The US IS TOTALLY to blame for the war in UKRAINE .

Did Putin write a book about how he wants to murder the jewish race and clean out half of Europe of its inhabitants?
How about actually talking to the Russians and see what they say?

France and Germany could have pushed for the implementation of the Minsk 2 accords but they didn’t. Now big daddy is running the show and he’s not interested in ending this anytime soon. Macron can talk all he wants. Unless he grows a pair, he will be ignored.
ignored from the same people who ignore climate change, what a surprise, most humans in the west are arrogant, ignorant, self glorifying morons.
The implementation of the Minsk accords would have granted Russia direct influence into Ukraine's politics. It would have been a disastrous resolution for Ukraine, and thus nobody pushed them to do it.
I don't know about that but I do know that Ukraine singn on.
Reality is that Europe being represented by ballless eunuchs especially within NATO sucking Uncle Sam's dick. US now basically using Europe to contain Russia n China to protect its hegemony from being challenged. Sad part is Europe paying the price through energy deprivation n US even took advantage of it by selling LNG to Europe 3 times the price. Worst US now signed inflation reduction act to screw Europe industries further by moving it to US. Interesting indeed.
Unfortunately Mrs Merkel (Germany) left office shortly before the war broke out..
Is Ukraine even going to be in the room for the so-called negotiations?
They don't need to go into that room. The Russians are the only ones in it. All they need to do is keep blowing it up.

Yes, chamberlain was deluded and out of wits. Interestingly, UK did not increase their military budget till 1941, or 2. They did not, just had the audacity to pressurise the USA to come to defend them, apparently Churchill uttered something like don't they know empires do not ask for help, they are helped. So the USA did not, till Churchill thrown a bone in form of countries that under Ribbentrop/Molotov fell under Germany. Like Czechoslovakia, they given to Hitler, than to Stalin.

It is sad that reasonable & intelligent people like Jeffrey Sachs can only comment on the absurd & dangerous mistakes made by the US Government instead of being part of the Government & using his experience and humanity to formulate sensible policy.
Notice Amy has done no segments on Merkel admitting the Minsk Accords were a ruse.
Amy also believed in the disproven Russiagate conspiracy theory. For once now she has a reliable guest and real information.
Merkel and her ex Colleague in the Soviet Apparatus purposely planned to make Germany and most of Europe dependent on Russian energy. He sold her a pup because he signalled he wanted a joint political partnership with the EU,( aka greater Germany). Europe supplies the know-how, and Russia the energy and raw material. This would make this ''Union' the most powerful on the planet.
Mutti was duped and Putin didn't bargain on the reaction of the Ukrainians and the Western democracies.
Ende.
Nothing, also, on the continual shelling of Eastern Ukraine by the Ukrainian military. It's been going on for 10 years, so the grey-haired lady has had plenty of time to notice.
Bear in mind, though, that her idea of democracy is cultural Marxism.
Let us not forget Ukraines greatest error, trusting Russia's Solemn promise, the Budapest agreement where Ukraine gave up it's hundreds of Nuclear weapons handing them over to Russia and in return Russia, the US and UK Guaranteed it's sovereignty and borders. What is the function of the FSB and why was it formed. ?
@@j.pgoodwin9020 - and NATO promised no encroachment into the nations along the Russian borders. Try telling the entire story
What a relief it was to see Macron come between Mrs. Macron & handsy✋ Biden.
Anyway, thanks for inviting Prof. Sachs on.
A brilliant, experienced, caring man which is why the MSM has no use for him.
That's like negotiating with Hitler "please don't invade the Czech Sudetenland !" Totally naïve and detached from reality !!
Mr Sachs should be one of the negotiators if there is any.
Yes let Sachs get the Russians to withdraw from Ukraine in peace and good will, I am sure he would be welcomed in Moscow
Thankyou for historical timelines,can understand better now.
Don't thank. Sachs is lieing. He is mixing some facts with mostly lies.
Funny how he didn’t mention that in 1991 the majority of Crimeans voted for Ukrainian independence. Interesting that he called the impeachment of Yanukovich by parliament (including members of his own party) a “overthrow”.

Yes, the end of my investing worries came in the person of a license advisor 'Amanda Moore Hinton' from CHARLES SCHWAB, and in less than 3 years I've made it into 7 figures after subsequent investments.

So if me and my 300,000 friends decide to move to Russia and hold a referendum!
Why not !
Hitler also had good reasons to invade Czechia, and Poland, and then too there were appeasers to a military aggressor state. Where did that policy lead to?
exactly people have short memories
Putin is not Hitler - Ukraine is not Poland either ... simplistic analogy leads to false conclusion !
@@mikewilson2332 Like in 1939 there is an open and violent defiance to the international legal order and there are fools trying to appease a wolf: I think that comparison is quite accurate. Putin is not Hitler? Sure, neither is Zelenski Braveheart, who is being simplistic?
Wasn’t attack on Yugoslavia in 1999 a violent defiance of international law? Wasn’t war in Irak or Libia a violent defiance of international law? It was a breach of soverenity and teritorial integrity of those countries without any UN resolution justyfying those invasions. Milions of civilians perished, as „colateral damage”. Cyvilian infrastructure (bridges, energy facilities) were targeted from the first moments of those invasions, also against the law. Extrajudicial killlings with drones, torture. All in front of the wole world, without any accountability. So I’d reccomend you come down from that western neo-colonial and patronising moral high-ground.

Dumb.
Who's is willing to talk to someone who blames you for everything?
Professional diplomats. You know when the Paris Peace Accords started?
Exactly. Russia is to blame. They started this war just to go on Putins' crusade to reconstitute Czarist Russia and all that territory they imperialistically took from Eastern Europe, like Poland and the Baltic States, and Ukraine, over a few centuries before WW1.
I don´t know, just about every husband and boyfriend on earth.
Who's willing to negotiate with someone now defeated that is responsible for the deaths of possibly 200,000 Ukrainians and Russians and the destruction of a country?
True! There is no way Putin can trust the West. The West had destroyed trust with its lies.
No negotiation except that Russia leaves Ukraine.
But Madame EU is talking about 9th sanctions Rounds!!
Why is Jeffery not talking about Putin seizing Ukraine's proven gas reserves in the Donbas and Black Sea? Ukraine has the reserves and the infrastructure to limit russia's chokehold on the EU energy supply. Do you negotiate that away along with Ukranian sovereignty? In the 20th century no colonial war has ended until the colonizer has become exhausted and walked away, yet no one gave the colonies much hope for victory until the end, this will end the same way.
Negotiation sounds good .

This has been said from the beginning on of war in Ukraine and even before by many more than Mr. Sachs. All of them were labeled as Putins, Russian propaganda, Also here on DN. It seems that no one wants to know, see, hear. The only goal here is to (destroy) weaken Russia (and than China....).
US Russia scholar Stephen F Cohen (d) had repeatedly said for decades US politics avoided all debate on policy as regards Russia. This has worked in the neocons favor. Time for debate and for marginalizing US neocon warmongers and their despicable media cronies.

This guy is without a doubt the most qualified person to speak on this situation, the fact that leadership in the west, especially the Americans are not using him as an advisor or some sort, clearly proves they have ulterior motives.
The fact that your media outlet is reporting the title of this video as though it's news speaks volumes about the U.S. attitude toward conflicts in other countries.
The title is also disingenuous to say the least. In case nobody noticed, the bloodshed could also end when one group of pissed off Eastern Europeaners with machine guns & bombs & sh*t says f*ck it I lost.
Sorry to have to point that out to Western news outlets and the deluded sh*theads who still buy what they say. Personally, I stopped giving a sh*t about what newspapers like the NY Times and WSJ said after all their great coverage of the Recession during the War on Terror on the Axis of Evil.

Russia will come to the "negotiation" table only after they reach the western borders of Ukraine.
Am telling you. Anyone that thinks that Russia will stop in Eastern Ukraine is joking after mobilizing 300k troops. You want Ukraine and West to use the ceasefire as an opportunity to militarize again as earlier stated by Angela Merkel and Porensheko
Yiu know what happens there ?
Wrong..... ONLY when Rússia comes close to Portugal's border.... God Bless Rússia!!!!!
good idea
Idiotic trolls
I don't see how negotiations work when one of the parties has zero intention of adhering to any agreement. Putin laughs at such suggestions and will only engage in negotiations to gain advantage in the war.
Ukraine is the country that violated the Minsk II agreement.
Shush shush, Military Industrial Complex bad. *Bad*! You're a ultranationalist warmonger who is prancing towards armegeddon if you don't want to see Munich 2.0.
Agreed. He won’t keep his agreements.
Was Putin the one who recently admitted that he never intended to hold up his country's end of the bargain in the Minsk agreements and only signed it in order to buy himself time for building up his military and retaking Donbas by force, or was that Petro Poroshenko? Was it Russia who withdrew from the AMB treaty, the INF treaty, and the Open Skies treaty over the last 20 years or was it the US? Ukraine's post-Maidan leaders and their US handlers have a long and thoroughly documented track record of opportunistically making agreements in bad faith and disregarding multilateral treaties they've signed as soon as they outlive their usefulness or become inconvenient to their policy goals, do you have any evidence that Putin would have done the same if his counterparts hadn't consistently done so first? For better or worse, Russia has established a relatively consistent track record of keeping its promises with other countries, even when those promises are threats. Their years of threatening to take military action if mutually tolerable diplomatic solutions couldn't be reached and adhered to on NATO expansion and the placement of US strategic nuclear missiles within NATO territory (threats that have long preceded Putin's time in power), or ending the civil war in eastern Ukraine, are themselves examples of a promise they've kept after being ignored for a very long time by the US and its proxies and exhausting its diplomatic avenues of recourse, as we saw in January of this year immediately before Russia's intervention when Biden and his representatives told Russia that their concerns were non-starters for negotiation and not legitimate in the first place before any negotiations could even begin. The US empire would go to war over far lesser threats to its own national security or its national interests, and we know this because it has done so countless times. The US had countless opportunities to prevent this particular disaster over the last 8 years but instead chose to escalate the situation at every opportunity while posing as if it had some kind of moral high ground because doing so served its interests and its leaders weren't the ones who would have to deal with the potential consequences and felt that they were infallible despite having the blood of millions on their hands, largely as a result of the same kind of reckless, callously opportunistic, and self-serving interference that they've perpetrated in other parts of the world as they're now doing in Ukraine. Even during the most tense and dangerous periods of the first cold war, the US state department and its dozens of subsidiary think-tanks were never dominated by the kind of fanatically unhinged, reckless, delusional, hawkish, and entitled American Exceptionalist ideologues that they are now in the era of neo-conservative hegemony.
@@DissidentB Yes, Putin did all these things and openly admitted he did so. The Minsk agreements were never honored by anyone in the conflict. Fighting never stopped.
Putin was supporting separatists with Russian forces in violation of the Budapest memorandum of 1995. There was nothing any leader of Ukraine could do except become a vassal state of Russia like Belarus.
The people of Ukraine wanted freedom and made it very clear they were willing to fight for it in 2013.
Much of this conflict in Donbas has roots in the Holodomor initiated by Stalin in the 1930's. Where a genocide against Ukrainians with an attempt to replace them with Russians took place. Millions of Ukrainians died.
Small wonder Ukrainians turned to the West and rejected Putin's attempts to enslave them to the Kremlin.
I the world of western people if a dozen men like DR. Jeffrey would have been a president sure ( no discrimination, no disputes no globalisation 100% )
I agree with this. I really feel before something more terrible happens, talk. Do we need a Radioactive waste land between Europe and Russia.

WTF YOU HATE UKRAINE?!

Thanks for Puntin' this comment.😉 I used to think Sachs was on to something but not so much any more. He bears some responsibility for the poor US response to development of Russia after the collapse of the USSR. Of course not all but some and he is completely indifferent to the interests of Ukrainians, very much toeing the Moscow line. For me, he's lost all credibility.
Finally! I’m not alone, they did not bring on a single Ukrainian or mention Ukraine’s perspective, a recent poll showed 80% of Ukrainians don’t even want talks. These journalist are so American centric it’s just babble. There is only one peace, that for the ruskis to peace tf out of Ukraine.
Hitler used the same lame dick excuse of 'protecting German speakers when he invaded the Sudetenland,(////Donbas)/ then took the whole country over. The difference then, as the free democracies stood by and did nothing. This is what Putin expected as well. He's as sick as a pig it all went wrong for him.
History shows us that appeasement does not work to stop dictators and tyrants.
America didn't ask France to give up the northern part of its nation to Hitler as in the Vichy government.
You rarely hear reasoning in this time and age
You certainly aren't hearing reason from Kremlin stooge Jeffrey Sachs.
'reasoning'? Here's some reasoning, if Putin comes out of this with 1 square centimetre of Ukrainian land, this War will last forever!
Hollow non suggestions "need to find negotiated end" and not giving any details or tangible suggestions on HOW. So we're left to guess what these negotiations would actually entail. Probably Russia should keep some of the conquered land, right? Lets have peace in our time again...... Even in the middle of this disastrous and evil war of conquest that Russia is waging these naive fools dream up their fairy tales of reasoning with the likes of Putin and his ilk. There is no non-nato way to guarantee Ukraines security, Russia will always be waiting for the time to strike again, making up nonsense excuses of denazifications and other bs.
is this what Russian propaganda is these days?
Pretty easy to ‘reason’ and negotiate with the assets of others. Any negotiated result will be seen as a victory for Russia, and will open up for a new world order on their terms.
If France was invaded it would not cede annexed territories.
Haven't enough people died in this horrible war?Thousands of Innocent civilians & soldiers? Negotiate now for Peace as Professor Sachs has said.
Listen to Decency!
Excellent explanation!
Negotiations are the only way to end wars! Stop this war!!

Slava Ukraine
You can't negotiate with a terror state. They will always come back.
Yup
I think the negotiated settlement ship has already sailed
The only way this conflict ends is if the West gets tired of bankrolling Ukraine first, or if Russia gets bored with trying to fight the combined military might of the entire western world first. Putin has fallen into the SAME trap as every dead dictator or terrorist who tried to stand up to the US in the last 100 years - they believe the US has become decadent, and that if they simply make a conflict too costly to the US, it will give up and let them have what they want - but it just never goes that way.

Doesn't it bother you that there are a Chineese majority in Chinatown, NY ? With the logic of Mr. Sachs China could annex it. Would then Sachs call US to give the territory out to China to stop the war?
and utterly wrong
The War should end....
a negotiated end? Give me a break, Let the Ukrainians determine how this war will end. They should not have to give a single concession to end this war.
While waiting for negotiations, a little truth would go a long way
Famous saying _"The first casualty of war is the truth!"_
Another famous saying _"Military intelligence is a contradiction in terms!"_
And lets not forget the Neo-cons, who's goal is to change every country in the world into a copy of the "America Liberal Democratic Fantasy" also gave us wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Maybe they think it'll be 3rd Time Lucky
I agree.
Destroy Germany and with Europe will be at our mercy especially if their important corporations go to America ( Its a win win for capitalism and another defeat for socialism)
@@jamesmurphy9426 Please go and see a doctor, you need help.
not getting it from sachs. he's putins spokesman with an american accent.
As long as the negotiation is that Russia leaves Ukraine, including Crimea, totally.
Learn objective history & then comment.
Today, Sven G Holtsmark has a good review of a three-day-old interview that the International Peace Agency (IPB) had with Jeffrey Sachs. Here, Sachs was allowed to make sweeping claims unchallenged, and Holtsmark explains why.
At the same time, there is another interview with Sachs that is also being shared on social media. It was done last December 6 by Democracy Now! It is confusingly similar to the IPB interview and not that much better.
At the very beginning of the interview, there is a clip with Macron from "60 minutes" where you can hear Macron say that:
"The only way to find a solution would be through negotiations. I don't see a military option on the ground".
But Democracy Now! had cut out what he had said in the sentence before. The sequence went like this:
Interviewer: So how does this end?
Macron: I think it's important to convey the message that this is, the Ukrainians to decide that. The only way to find a solution would be through negotiations. I don't see a military option on the ground.
Democracy Now! thus tore away important context. After all, Macron emphasized exactly the same thing as Biden - that negotiations must take place on Ukraine's terms, and that the war must ultimately be resolved at the negotiating table. Instead, Democracy Now! it sounds like Macron was critical of the American position and that it should be negotiated now. Democracy Now! thus served the viewers manipulation.
During the interview, Sachs said that 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed, referring to von Leyen. But at this point the EU had explained that Leyen had said the wrong thing and had meant "casualties". Then it is not serious to continue to quote her in this way a week later, as Sachs did. Sachs thus attempted to inflate the Ukrainian loss figures on an unjustified basis.
Negotiating with Putin ? Would Putin negotiate in good faith ,I doubt it !! His way of negotiating is demanding this and that and to him negotiating is a sign of weakness or appeasement . Can you trust Putin and Russia or whoever comes after Putin to keep their end of any bargain ? The west has to stay strong otherwise Russia will have another go at Ukraine or the Baltic states or Poland or Moldova .
There is no way Sachs has the slightest idea of what he is talking about.
Unless you do some research on what's really been happening there, beginning with the violent overthrow in 2014 of Ukraine's elected govt (With $5bn Dollars help from the US State Dept) and the attacks on Donbass that followed. Once you do the research you'll see that he knows exactly what he is talking about.
denial shields working well.
Totally right.....!!
Appeasement? One inescapable truth is that Russia is doing the invading, and at a scale and brutality (even to its own troops) not seen since WW2; beyond this, the mercenary use of prisoners as cannon fodder. The official Russian perspective is based on Putin's revision of Ukrainian history, a form of cultural genocide. With all due respect, I am surprised that Sachs says nothing of this. Still, it is important to have different perspectives aired, as one thing that disappears during a war is truth itself, the so-called "fog of war".
1) Biden needs to call Zelenski and tell him the US is no longer supplying weapons to Ukraine.
2) Zelenski needs to address his country and tell them to lay down their weapons and stop fighting. He needs to tell his country he will be leaving the country soon for his safety and citizens need to cooperate with the government that Putin installs.
3) Biden needs to announce that NATO expansion is no longer a policy of the US government and put it in writing and NATO itself will be disbanded within 5 years.
4) Biden needs to agree to lift all sanctions against Russia and also lift sanctions against all other countries around the world.
5) Biden needs to agree to rebuild the pipeline he had blown up.
6) Biden needs to resign from office within 6 months and take Blinken with him.
7) The US government needs to agree to stop threatening all other countries and needs to agree to close half of its military bases overseas within 5 years.
Sounds like kings and handful of kings men play the game while American, Ukrainian and Russian citizens stand on the sidelines. World politics needs desperate change
Does he suggest Ukraine should give away land to Russia in exchange for a security guarantee? They already have a security guarantee from Russia (Budapest Memorandum, which was obviously defunct).
Why then join NATO?
That is exactly what he wants: to reward Russia and Putin.
USA violated Budapest memo with 2014 cia backed fascist coup, then Ukraine violated Minsk agreement with continued bombing of donbass
@@istiaqmujibtafader because if you're a member of nato your country is safe, and you won't suddenly see the crazy neighbor dictator call you homosexual nazi satanists and proceed to annex your country.
@@divumque a new superpower Ruzzia having been rewarded for aggression by controlling Ukraine, sets a very dangerous precedence for the future. Especially considering they openly say they're at war with the "gay west".
A negotiated "end' that leads to a Korean style endless stalemate (?)
There’s a US base on the parallel. Putin would just blow up the world in that situation.
A proxy war in Europe has been contemplated since 1945, but hasn’t happened until 80 years later.
This guy admits he was an adviser to the Russians !!! Tell him to toddle off bloody 5th columnist. I wonder if he sat in Kyiv how he would get on peddling pro Russian crap like this.
It will not, Russia will rebuild its strength and take another part of Ukarine or maybe the baltic states in a few years.
The French have always been the first to surrender. Look at WWII.
Jeffrey Sachs would be the perfect person to lead negotiations in the event of a Ukrainian surrender. Has he a yellow streak on his back?
How did France’s negotiations workout for the 1st & 2nd world wars? Lol
France: third times the charm! 🐌
They are still a country so I guess it worked out in the end.
@@millermc74 N Korea is still a country…. *existing* isn’t an argument for competence.
@@The.Nasty. Comparing every conflict to WW2 and every adversary to Hitler is also not reflecting reality.
@@millermc74 I’m sorry, where did I compare every conflict to WW2 and every adversary to Hitler?
Maybe my memory is going to shit but I don’t recall saying either of those things.
What Biden said , he was prepared to listen what Putin has to offer . That means something he can buy . That’s not an indication he was seriously looking at ending the war . Putin had said he was not selling either ……
So far all Burden has done is to get everyone in this mess. Europe must turn back on him, negotiate with Russia and take care of themselves.
What are your speculations?
@@mw6267 In what way is Biden's point of view different from EU's? Europe's security lies in NATO, not outside NATO. Even those who have chosen to be neutral and stay outside NATO, have now applied to join it. The Russian invasion has strengthened NATO in Europe.
Here's a thought. Perhaps it's Russia who should stop targeting civilians in Ukraine as a means to stop this war? Why should the west cave to Russia, a terrorist state?
@@Juan-yq3fb I guess he means that it is a stalemate. // US, Nato and Russia need to reach an agreement...but then there is "little" Ukraine also who likes to have a say. Putin I guess wants to show off a "win"...and after all that Ukraine now have suffered, they are not prepared to just give away. As a friend use to say, war use to go on until both sides are fatigue if none can win... if that will be the end, if that is what can be seen coming in the future, a stop of the war by fatigue, could we spare ourself the demolish until then by ending sooner?
If hyenas beating up baby bear cubs is considered normal in a society then that is why this war keeps alive and won't stop
Glory To Ukraine ok 👌
Keep the truth alive for your children's lives and futures. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What is there to negotiate? The invader has to withdraw, return all captured land and pay reparations for the damage caused and the innocent lives that have been lost.
How can you negotiate with liars, cheaters, war criminals, murderers ect? How????
Finally, a solid informative interview on Democracy Now.
Hahahahaha!!!
Solid how ?? 4 putin ?

Well said
I would to ask Mr Sachs what his role was in the controlled disintegration of the Russian economy after the fall of the Soviet Union. What does he think of his involvement in this now?
advisor?
He has talked about that in other interviews. He pleaded with world governments to handle it benevolently and was dismayed at how they saw it instead as an opportunity to pillage Russia.
@@acknodbikes5051 Yes he said even in this interview that he was an adviser to some Russian leaders including Gorbachev.
Sachs , in bed with macron and Putin total oxygen thieves
Putin can go the hell home and all this would stop. Period.
Putin says the only exit is victory; which means for Ukraine the only exit is victory - or Putin's defeat.
I agree with you Professor . A negotiated
Political settlement is the best solution.
