Assessing the Success of Russia's Offensive in Ukraine: G7 Diplomacy vs. Petraeus' Opinion.

While the G7 summit in Hiroshima announced plans to tighten sanctions against Russia and escalate the war in Ukraine, leaders from around the world are making efforts to end the conflict through diplomacy. Denmark has offered to host peace talks, while Poland, Czechia, Hungary, and the three Baltic states are talking to Ukraine’s President about ending the war. China’s peace initiative is progressing, and Brazil’s President Lula da Silva is creating a “peace club” of countries to work together to resolve the conflict. Grassroots movements in the US are also urging the government to be a force for peace.
