U.S. Vice President Joe Biden (L) speaks with Ukraininan President Petro Poroshenko (R) before their meeting on March 31, 2016 in Washington, DC.
Editor's Note: The following is an interview by Rutgers University professor Alexander J. Motyl with Jiri Valenta, president of the Institute of Post-Soviet Studies and Terrorism.
MOTYL: Dr. Jiri Valenta, you’ve had extensive experience dealing with the Russians during and after the Prague Spring and wrote a seminal work on its tragic denouement, Soviet Intervention in Czechoslovakia, 1968 (Johns Hopkins, 1991). Is there a solution to the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war that would be acceptable to Ukraine, Russia, and the West?
