How long will Russia’s aggression against Ukraine last? The corona crisis is gradually coming to an end, and economic activity is returning to normal. A ceasefire will undoubtedly boost the global economy.
Autumn has deepened, and the footsteps of winter have begun to be heard. General Winter will soon arrive in Russia and Ukraine. Winters in Russia and Ukraine are very harsh. Tougher than Hokkaido.
Can the war continue in the extreme cold? It is said that Napoleon’s army, which once invaded Russia with an unprecedentedly large army, was defeated in the Russian winter. So did Hitler’s German army.

Both the Russians and the Ukrainians should be cold tolerant, but morale will drop and both sides will become war-weary. Continuing to fight in these conditions will result in more casualties for both. Only negative. If so, shouldn’t there be a temporary truce? First, a ceasefire agreement should be signed, and then the international community should work to continue talks between Russia and Ukraine so that the war does not resume.
The battle between Russia and Ukraine is getting bogged down and there is no end in sight. If things continue to escalate, nuclear weapons will really be used.

Now is the perfect time to reach a ceasefire. On the other hand, it is also a big pinch that intensifies the war. In order to prevent the war from escalating any further, the international community should sincerely listen to what both countries have to say. Russia has its say, and unilaterally demonizing Russia, which started the war, is not necessarily a good idea.

A spirit of tolerance is important. Innocent people will suffer the most when nuclear weapons are used. The Japanese know that better than anyone else. (Kei Kitajima)
