Hastening peace in Ukraine would be a challenge for anyone but the challenge becomes that much harder when one's primary goal is to thwart an adversary rather than promote justice, peace or stability in the region.

The Vault 7 leaks revealed to Americans an ambitious and venal organization that sees enemies all around it.
