Donald Trump continues to put pressure on Ukraine to accept his administration\u2019s peace proposal, despite how the plan favors Russia. On Washington Week With The Atlantic<\/em>, panelists joined to discuss what this may suggest about the administration\u2019s shifting international priorities, and more.<\/p>\n If the Ukrainians were to stop fighting today, \u201cthey don\u2019t have any kind of security guarantee,\u201d Anne Applebaum, a staff writer at The Atlantic<\/em>, explained last night. Without that, \u201ctheir country is unviable\u2014because who will want to live there or invest there if they know that the war is going to start, you know, next year or next month or in six months?\u201d Ukraine needs a reason to believe that the war with Russia is \u201creally, really over,\u201d she argued.<\/p>\n \u201cThe only way you achieve that is to put pressure not on Ukraine, but on Russia,\u201d Applebaum said. \u201cIt\u2019s almost as if the Trump administration doesn\u2019t want to admit, or can\u2019t understand, that the war only ends when the pressure is put on Russia.\u201d This is \u201cthe most obvious solution to the problem, and it\u2019s the one they just won\u2019t take,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n Joining the editor in chief of The Atlantic<\/em>, Jeffrey Goldberg, to discuss this and more: Anne Applebaum, a staff writer at The Atlantic; Susan Glasser, a staff writer at The New Yorker; Amna Nawaz, a co-anchor at PBS News Hour<\/em>; and Vivian Salama, a staff writer at The Atlantic.<\/p>\n Watch the full episode here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Donald Trump continues to put pressure on Ukraine to accept his administration\u2019s peace proposal, despite how the plan favors Russia.
