Ted Snider joined Scott on Antiwar Radio this week to discuss the war in Ukraine. Snider explains that we now know that early on, both Ukraine and Russia were willing to stop the fighting and work things out peacefully. But the U.S. put a stop to the talks and urged Ukraine to fight. Now Ukraine has suffered heavy casualties, blown through its defensive resources and lost territory its own generals say they’ll never win back. Snider berates U.S. officials for putting Ukraine in this position and argues that negotiations must start now before Ukraine needlessly loses even more.

Discussed on the show:

• “Three Major Events in Russia the World Didn’t Notice” (Antiwar.com)
• “U.S., European officials broach topic of peace negotiations with Ukraine, sources say” (NBC News)
• “Ukraine Has Lost the War” (Antiwar.com)
