During a heated discussion at the Highland Meeting in Utah on November 16, 2023, the future of Ukraine emerged as a contentious topic, revealing stark differences in approach among attendees. The conversation highlighted a shared desire to support Ukraine, but diverging strategies on how to achieve that goal.
One participant emphasized the need for Ukraine to become a neutral country, suggesting that its currency could be managed by the United Nations. This proposal was met with immediate backlash from another attendee, who expressed strong opposition to the UN, stating, "I hate the United Nations. I think it should be abolished." This sentiment resonated with others in the room, as another participant quickly voiced support for the idea of withdrawing the U.S. from the UN altogether.
The exchange underscored a broader debate about international involvement in Ukraine and the role of organizations like the UN in conflict resolution. As discussions continue, the differing views on how to best support Ukraine will likely shape future policy proposals and diplomatic efforts.
