• Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger told the World Economic Forum in Davos via video link that Russia must be given the opportunity to one day rejoin the international system following any peace deal in Ukraine.
  • He said that to avoid an escalation of conflict with the nuclear power, the West must continue to engage in discussions with Russia and not let it feel that there was a war against the Russian state itself.
  • Kissinger, who served under presidents Nixon and Ford, also said U.S. military support of Ukraine should continue until a cease-fire line is reached or accepted in preliminary discussions.
