In a recent Foreign Affairs article titled "Ukraine's Winnable War, Why the West Should Help Kyiv Retake All Its Territory" Gideon Rose said:
"A common view of the war sees it as a military deadlock destined to end with a negotiated settlement far short of each side's original goals. "Later this year, a stalemate is likely to emerge along a new line of contact," argued the president of the Council on Foreign Relations, Richard Haass, and the political scientist Charles Kupchan in April, and at that point the United States should nudge Ukraine into recognizing that "pursuing a full military victory" would be unwise. "An end to the war that leaves Ukraine in full control over all its internationally recognized territory . . . remains a highly unlikely outcome," asserted the political scientists Samuel Charap and Miranda Priebe in January, and so Washington "could condition future military aid on a Ukrainian commitment to negotiations" involving territorial compromise." The title of Mr. Charap's Foreign Affairs article was "An Unwinnable War, Washington Needs an Endgame in Ukraine".[i]
