Being anti-war as a matter of principle, we are not in favor of this invasion and feel it should end immediately. Who can support war and suffering? However, we also understand that the only chance to end the war is a negotiated settlement. That means NATO (really the US) must stop prolonging this war, and free Zelensky up to make a deal to stop the killing. At the same time it is incumbent on Westerners, particularly Americans, to understand our own complicity in igniting this crisis. This blood is on our hands as well. We also must acknowledge that we encouraged the Ukrainian military escalation against the Donbass on 2/16 that started this phase of what is really an 8 year war. https://orthodoxreflections.com/q-a-on-the-war-in-ukraine/
