Grateful to Sébastien Gobert for discussing my article "Rethinking Crimea" in his recent podcast (in French): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVWSuSs-gg8

If I were on a mission to end Russia's war on Ukraine*, I would push for Crimea and southeastern Ukraine - the area currently under Russian occupation - to be treated as independent states. Obviously, this isn't an ideal solution, and I'm sure it would be unpalatable to most people in Kyiv and unacceptable to Putin, who clearly wants the complete subjugation of Ukraine. However, it would solve a few problems, and I think it would have benefits for all parties involved. (And it's clearly better than what Trump is proposing.)

*This is assuming other countries don't step up to help Ukraine win the war.
