To clarify, the ball is not in Russia’s court because the US has no authority to enforce any rules and is, in fact, itself a player. There is nothing the US can do to compel Russia to alter course given that years of sanctions and massive military aid to Ukraine have already failed. Western strategy in Ukraine has backfired leaving Russia holding all the cards.
