Peace researcher Andreas Heinemann-Grüder criticizes Russian policy in Ukraine in an interview with ntv. He speaks of a “forced conversion to Russianness” and warns of a cultural erasure of Ukrainian identity. He rejects the US proposal to divide up Ukraine along the lines of the German post-war zones and describes it as backward-looking. He also expresses doubts about US President Trump's peace efforts, which he believes have little chance of success.
