Ukraine - hard choices
Apr 10 2022 The Guardian
The Observer editorial presents some hard choices for western leaders.
First, create a safe haven in western Ukraine, and inform Russia in advance of the location, and that it will be protected.
Second, declare city of Odesa off-limits.
Third, tell Russia that artillery and missile units that fire on civilians again, as in Kramatorsk, they will be deemed legitimate Nato military targets.
Fourth: supply fighter planes and tanks to Kyiv.
Fifth: block all Russian fossil fuel exports.
These may seem like radical choices, but if the alternative is the continuing slaughter of civilians, what choice is there, really?
