What is missing from the conversation about Russia-Ukraine peace negotiations?

The missing piece of the conversation is the focus on what Russia must concede in potential peace negotiations. While discussions often center around what Ukraine or the West should give up, there's inadequate attention to what Russia should be required to surrender or compromise on in any peace scenario. This imbalance in perspective creates a one-sided negotiation framework where the burden of compromise appears to fall primarily on Ukraine and its allies. Ambassador Michael McFaul highlights this critical oversight in the diplomatic discussions taking place, suggesting a more balanced approach is necessary for meaningful progress.
