Henry Kissinger Calls for Negotiated Peace in Ukraine to Avoid World War
Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has again come out in favor of negotiations to end the war in Ukraine in an article for The Spectator titled “How to Avoid Another World War.”
Kissinger said that he “repeatedly expressed my support for the allied military effort to thwart Russia’s aggression in Ukraine” but that he thought there was room for negotiations.
“The time is approaching to build on the strategic changes which have already been accomplished and to integrate them into a new structure towards achieving peace through negotiation,” he wrote.
Kissinger angered Kyiv and hawks in Washington back in May when he suggested Ukraine should cede Crimea and territory the Donbas separatists controlled before the February 24 invasion to achieve peace. In his essay, Kissinger suggested a similar idea, although he said Ukraine could no longer be neutral and must be aligned with NATO.
