This weekend, many heads of state are negotiating peace in Ukraine at the Bürgenstock. Famous historian Jörn Leonhard explains what we can expect from this summit and why it is dangerous to have too many expectations.
When we look at the history of wars, the beginning is always concrete, but the return to a situation of peace is more difficult to define. It almost seems to occur incidentally.
It is much easier to define the beginning of wars than their end. Just think of the defenestration of Prague, the attack on Sarajevo or the invasion of Ukraine.
