Regarding John Berkowitz’ June 16 guest column calling for Ukraine to stop defending itself and capitulate to Putin’s criminal aggression [”Ukraine War — If we don’t face the music, it could blow up in our faces”]. Putin could unilaterally end this war today by calling a cease-fire, retreating to internationally recognized borders, and respecting self-determination in sovereign nations.
