LONDON, U.K.—Ukraine’s major cross-border attack into Russia's Kursk region last week has triggered the usual claims and counter-claims. First, former Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu said that Russia had taken 420 square kilometres of territory from Ukrainian forces since June 14 along the old front line in the east. Ukraine’s top commander, General Oleksandr Syrskyi, retorted that Ukraine now controls 1,000 square kilometres of Russian territory.
Now he reveals that in his opinion the Ukrainians—or rather, in his own mind, their ‘Western masters’—are also contemplating a ceasefire. As indeed they should, for reasons both short-term and long-term. The short-term reason is Donald Trump, who would instantly sell them down the river if he wins the American presidency in November.
