1. That speech was after the election. One generally makes campaign promises before the election. 2. If "reconciliation" is the same as a "peace settlement", it's exactly what Zelenskyy did: https://en.

There's not much in that article about Zelenskyy and Russian relations, before or after his election. Certainly nothing about "reconciliation" with Russia, just settlements in the Donbas war. " ...he leveraged his mass

How about we just say that Germany and France are not going to let Ukraine join while it has territorial conflicts?

I've seen a bit of twitter chatter from international relations people about this article. Most of them are fairly dismissive of Mearshiemer's position---I've seen the phrase "stuck in the 1815 world" of colonial po
