Does the answer to ending the Ukraine War sit with the United States?

Published

As the war in Ukraine enters week eight, many political analysts and politicians around the world are speculating how it may end (if it ends at all)

The war in Ukraine is entering week eight and the aggression by Russia only seems to be intensifying, despite the massive amounts of troops lost in battle.

Word on the street is that the Kremlin is no longer just wanting to take the country, but “eliminate” all of its people, with civilians caught in the attacks and the number of innocent lives lost entering their thousands.

Russia wants to “Eliminate all Ukrainians” – Zlata Kolesnyk says

Last week, a mass casualty event on a Ukrainian train station was one of the biggest attacks on civilians by Russian forces yet. Over 50 people, including young children, died.

Despite news that Kremlin forces are withdrawing from key parts of Ukraine, they seem to be moving towards other parts of the country, to amass their destruction.

So when will it end, and more importantly, how?

It’s the question that many have been asking and wanting answers to. When will Vladimir Putin back down?

Professor Yanis Varoufakis, a professor in politics and the Former Greek Minister of Finance, says the answers to a resolution may sit with the United States and Joe Biden’s administration.

Speaking exclusively to Ticker News, Varoufakis says what just might be needed amongst all of this aggression is a summit, hosted by the U.S, which may provide some kind of opportunity for a ceasefire and “bring Ukraine back to where it was before Feb 24”

Varoufakis revealed if the conflict is not resolved soon, then a “permanent Afghanistan-like situation” is likely. Meaning Ukraine will be a war zone for the greater future, a battleground between a Democracy and Soviet Union.

Russia’s war crimes

The Kremlin continues to be investigated for its war crimes. Germany’s foreign minister has stated that there are “massive indications of war crimes” committed within Ukraine, by Kremlin forces.

“In the end, the courts will have to decide, but for us, it is central to secure all evidence,” Annalena Baerbock told reporters before a meeting with fellow European Union ministers in Luxembourg.

Despite nine evacuation corridors agreed to between Ukraine and Russia, there continues to be a high level of risk for those trying to flee the war-torn nation.

Ukraine’s deputy prime minister says that Kyiv is aiming to evacuate civilians from several regions in and around the country’s south and east via these humanitarian corridors. Despite any risks, the deputy PM stated that such corridors had been agreed to by the two countries and it is up to Russia to keep their word and allow the evacuation of the innocent.

Illinois sues Trump to block National Guard deployment amid escalating clash over military force usage in cities

In Short:
– Illinois has sued Trump to stop National Guard deployment to Chicago amid legal concerns about military presence.
– Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act if local officials obstruct federal responses to unrest.
Illinois has filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump to prevent the federal deployment of National Guard troops to Chicago.
The challenge marks the state’s fourth legal action concerning the federal military’s presence in urban areas. Several courts in Oregon and California have already suggested that Trump may have overstepped his authority in similar cases.As National Guard troops from Texas were reportedly in transit to Chicago, the Illinois government expressed concerns over the situation, particularly after recent orders that would federalize local National Guard members.

The U.S. District Judge has permitted the federal government to continue its troop deployment while Illinois’ legal proceedings are ongoing.

In a further escalation, Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act. He stated this could occur if local officials impede federal responses to unrest.

While the law permits direct military engagement in civilian law enforcement, it has rarely been invoked since the early ’90s.

Legal Concerns

Democratic leaders argue that the president’s deployment aims to undermine local governance under the guise of law enforcement. Opponents claim that Trump is mischaracterising urban areas as unsafe, using military action to militarise cities unjustly.

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker accused Trump of exacerbating tensions and using troops for political gains. Conversely, Trump maintains that the conditions in Chicago necessitate federal intervention due to rising crime rates.
