lol! Sachs is the most influential economist in the world Andy, with a very long and impressive career, so I am not sure what your problem with him is.
If you are a soldier in the trenches on the battlefield of Ukraine now, you would take Putin’s latest offer for an immediate ceasefire in a heartbeat Andy. You are not and you don’t really care for those poor souls.
East Ukraine will be a military zone with no residential zones at all ones this is finished. Russian have already started the project.
Why fighting and dying for land with no people living on it Andy? No more blood is on the Russian hands than the hands of those who have been pumping weapons into Ukraine in order to prolong this disaster. Peace.
