George Beebe: Window of Opportunity for Peace in Ukraine

Author: Glenn Diesen February 28, 2026 Duration: 31:32

George Beebe is the former CIA Director for Russia Analysis and currently Director of Grand Strategy at the Quincy Institute. Beebe examines the possibility for a diplomatic settlement to the Ukraine War. Russia's demands are high and there is little room for concessions as NATO in Ukraine represents an existential threat, and Russia is wining. Russia's for restoring Ukraine's neutrality, territorial concessions and limiting the military capabilities of a post-war Ukraine can all be met. The European leaders are determined to prolong the war, yet they can also be brought on board.Read Responsible Statecraft: https://responsiblestatecraft.org/Follow Prof. Glenn Diesen: Substack: https://glenndiesen.substack.com/ X/Twitter: https://x.com/Glenn_DiesenPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/glenndiesen Support the research by Prof. Glenn Diesen: PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/glenndiesenBuy me a Coffee: buymeacoffee.com/gdiesengGo Fund Me: https://gofund.me/09ea012fBooks by Prof. Glenn Diesen: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B09FPQ4MDL
