A report titled ‘Avoiding a Long War in Ukraine’ by the influential American think tank RAND Corporation recently published sensational leaks about the Biden administration's willingness to offer Vladimir Putin a deal on Ukraine. According to experts from RAND, a prolonged conflict runs counter to American interests; the risk of nuclear escalation would be high if Russia were to lose the war, whereas if Russia were to win, Ukraine would suffer from further heavy losses.

Sensational leaks about the Biden administration’s readiness to offer Vladimir Putin a deal on Ukraine are supported by a report by the influential American think tank RAND Corporation, recently published under the title “Avoiding a Long War in Ukraine.” A prolonged conflict in Ukraine is not in America’s interests: it creates risks of nuclear escalation if Russia loses, and risks of even greater losses for Ukraine if Russia wins, RAND experts say.
