A beautiful story

March 17, 2022 |

A beautiful story by L. Bershidsky. very bull I think:

My Grandmother Was in the Winter War. It Was as Ugly as This One
Ukraine and Finland have little in common and 21st-century warfighting is new and different. But the parallels are still hard to miss.

Ukrainian and Russian negotiators are reportedly getting closer to a deal that would end the Russian invasion. The deal, if and when it arrives, likely will resemble the Moscow Treaty of 1940, which crowned the Winter War between the Soviet Union and Finland. Ukraine will sign up to a version of Finland’s neutral status that resulted from that treaty, and some of its territorial losses will likely be sealed, if not recognized. Just as Finland did, however, Ukraine will keep its independence and its military, rather than become a Russian puppet state.
