Op-ed from the foreign ministers of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, arguing that any territorial swaps with Russia won’t be temporary: “To entertain the idea of trading land for a fragile truce is to repeat the mistakes of the past — and to invite history’s darkest chapters to be repeated.” https://www.ft.com/content/7c571467-87b1-4771-9b49-a7f3766a6bcf
The argument here is perfectly rational, but I don’t think Putin is interested in “temporary” or “de facto” occupation, so I assume this text is intended mainly to disabuse Trump and company of delusions about “leaving hope for return [of seized lands] to Ukraine in the future.”
