THE PUZZLE THAT IS THE WORLD

Let’s go to the weekly summary: nothing. Nothing seems to solve some of the issues we face, and we want quick solutions for complex problems. In the end, all you need to know is that complex numbers fit complex problems. And with that, resolution becomes possible. Mathematics teaches us that problems are solvable, and what I see missing in us is engagement in a single vision, a shared purpose. Interests are still not aligned in many aspects of the organic life of the social fabric we call Society.

Meanwhile, in Eurasia, negotiations for Peace continue. The U.S. announces at least a week-long ceasefire, which would be “extraordinary” given the climate and conditions. Ukraine claims it has not been formally notified. What? That is absurd—any path toward non-violence is the right path, and responding that it was not notified was a lost opportunity to say YES to ending the War.

As stated by the U.S. in relation to Russia, Ukraine wastes clear opportunities to improve the situation. There are no reasons that justify such a response, one that satisfies a strategic position aimed at somehow reclaiming Donbass. From the outset, Ukraine should have confirmed the agreement, and then it is attacked without knowing why.

The UN, in positioning itself on the ceasefire, remains an observer in Zaporizhzhya, but without confirmation of a national truce. What truly matters is resolving the conflict; this reinforces the words of those who say “Truce now!”, a group to which I belong.
