Exiled Memorial, which won the Nobel Peace Prize, understands what Mr. Dunn doesn't: that negotiations are pointless until Ukraine kicks Russian forces out of Ukraine:

"There is currently no diplomatic solution to the war in Ukraine, Irina Scherbakova, a co-founder of the Nobel Peace Prize-winning Russian rights organisation Memorial, said.

“I am absolutely convinced that there is not a diplomatic solution with Putin’s regime, so long as it is still there,” she said.

“The solution that there will now be is a military one,” said Scherbakova, who was presented with an award for her human rights work at a ceremony in Hamburg, Germany.

“But these decisions, this diplomacy will only happen when Ukraine believes it has won this war and can set its terms.”

Scherbakova added that calls for peace were “childish”, she said, adding that things would not return to the way they were before the outbreak of the conflict.

“This war has turned so many things upside down, it will never be like that again.”

Or is the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize also a warmonger in need of de-escalation therapy?
