Details: “No, because at the end of the day, Ukraine is fighting for its sovereign territory that its neighbour invaded. So, if we want to de-escalate tensions, as we’ve said from the beginning, the best way to do that is Putin can make that decision today to withdraw troops from Ukraine,” Singh stated, when asked about the potential escalation of tensions due to Ukrainian forces entering Kursk Oblast
I agree it would have been better for them with the benefit of hindsight. My point is more that the decision that they did make was a pretty rational one at the time
Yeah, I get that and I agree. Everyone thought Russia will do what’s good for Russia, and not this.
