John E. Herbst: Not so fast, Mr. Inozemtsev
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko (L) poses with US Vice President Joe Biden before a meeting on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos on Jan. 20.
Responding to an article that Ambassadors Steven Pifer, William Taylor, and I wrote in The New York Times advocating greater US and EU assistance to Ukraine, Vladislav Inozemtsev wrote a provocative article January 19 in which he makes the case that Kyiv should cede the occupied territories of the Donetsk People's Republic, Luhansk People's Republic, and Crimea to Russia as part of an overall settlement to end the war in Ukraine.
