The Fate of Ukraine: Who Holds the Key to Peace?

As peace initiatives are being pushed from various countries, few have given thought to who would enforce that peace in Ukraine. The conflict will stop only when both sides conclude that halting fighting is more advantageous than continuing. Talks of cease-fires and demilitarized zones without planning how to ensure whatever messy cease-fire or truce would forestall a Putin replay are a waste of time. The United States should provide Ukraine with the weapons it is asking for, and there should be no political restrictions on it. The US should also be prepared to put boots on the ground to ensure peace in Ukraine.
