Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski has drawn attention with his argument that wars end "by persuading the aggressor to limit his level of ambition, not by asking the victim to capitulate." The remark, made in the context of the Russia-Ukraine war, is being shared widely as a pointed rebuttal to pressure on Kyiv to make concessions, framing any settlement as a test of whether Moscow's aims are curbed rather than Ukraine's.
Why now: Ongoing debate over Western pressure on Ukraine to negotiate territorial concessions to Russia makes Sikorski's framing resonate.
