I read with interest Prof. Pat Hynes’ July 3 column advocating a negotiated peace between Russia and the Ukraine [“Negotiate for peace in Ukraine”]. It made a lot of sense and I only wish she was our ambassador to the United Nations. Prof. Hynes is quite right that every citizen should urge their senators and representative to support a cease-fire and peace negotiations to end the war for the benefit of us all!

However, I think we’re going to have to wait until former President Trump regains the White House before we have someone with the personality, intelligence and political acuity to make it happen. He has already spoken eloquently on the subject.
