So, just like that, the fate of a nation is decided. After three years of bloody warfare Ukraine may finally have peace, something it desperately needs. But how, and on what terms? If Donald Trump gets his way, which is very likely, it will be imposed from above, with conditions highly favourable to the country that started the war in the first place.
The amateur historians out there can’t quite decide if this is Trump’s “Munich” (i.e. a sell-out of a small country to an aggressor, à la Neville Chamberlain’s deal with Hitler in 1938 to dismember Czechoslovakia) or his “Yalta” (the summit meeting in 1945 where the victorious American, British and Soviet leaders divvied up Europe into spheres of influence).
