Since President Trump took office, the world has watched his attempts to bring a swift resolution to Russia’s war against Ukraine. His rhetoric has often been inconsistent, oscillating between tough stances against Russian aggression and efforts to cultivate a cooperative relationship with the Kremlin.
Yet, two things are clear. First, the U.S. administration is attempting to play the ‘great power game,’ where both Ukraine and Europe are seen as secondary players. Second, the current discourse focuses on peace but not justice. This leaves little room for discussing how Russia, as a state, can be held accountable for its actions. Additionally, it fails to address how the international community can ensure that war crimes committed by the Russian army in Ukraine do not go unpunished.
