A heated debate is going on among U. S. politicians about the path to peace in Ukraine. Senator Marco Rubio recently said that both Ukraine and Russia need to make concessions for a peace deal. But not everyone agrees with him. Rep. Rich McCormick from Georgia strongly disagrees. He thinks it's "laughable" to suggest that Ukraine should give up more land. He points out that Ukraine has already lost a lot. Crimea and large parts of eastern Ukraine are already under Russian control. McCormick believes that Russia's President Putin is a tough negotiator. He always starts from a position of strength. Putin isn't willing to give anything up. This makes finding a solution very difficult. The discussion highlights a bigger issue. How can peace be achieved when one side is much stronger? It's a complex problem with no easy answers.
