The administration’s rush toward peace talks with Russia on the war in Ukraine has raised concerns over the U.S. commitment to the region’s security.

On US foreign and security policy, the Democrats have a choice of three roads. They can simply acquiesce in the Trump administration’s policies; they can try to outflank them by being even more hawkish, in alliance with the likes of Liz Cheney, the “Blob,” and the neocons; or they can oppose them in the name of peace and international cooperation.

U.S. President Donald Trump has launched a bid to broker an end to the war in Ukraine, sparking a rift with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and raising concerns among European allies that Kyiv and Europe could be cut out of peace talks.

On Monday, the U.N.’s General Assembly is set to vote on a resolution that marks the third anniversary of the start of the Ukraine war.
