President Biden’s surprise appearance in Kyiv with President Volodymyr Zelensky was a master stroke of diplomatic stagecraft, rivaling Ronald Reagan’s visit to the Berlin Wall.

“A natural part of the commentary surrounding the first anniversary of the start of the Russo-Ukraine War,” says the noted military expert Lawrence Freedman, was “speculation about whether it will have concluded by the time of the second or even third anniversaries.” To a significant extent, this depends on choices the U.S. and its allies are making (or failing to make) right now.
