There is a cost to war. There is a cost to ending war. Neither cost can be avoided, and both costs are made greater the longer war is extended.
Putin seems willing to extend the war in Ukraine, at least for now. Yet the longer he does, the more the Russian people will have to pay for that war in Ukraine, and the more the Russian people will have to pay to transition from war to peace once war is concluded.
