Please try again later. Ilya Ponomarev, a former member of Russia's parliament, speaks at the Congress of People's Deputies in Warsaw on June 11. (Magdalena Chodownik/Getty Images) By David Ignatius November 7, 2023 at 6:22 p.m. EST Ilya Ponomarev, a renegade former member of Russia’s parliament, has a provocative idea: He argues that the only way to end the Ukraine war on acceptable terms is through a coup that topples Russian President Vladimir Putin. Sign up for Democracy, Refreshed, a newsletter series on how to renovate the republic. Personally, I think Ponomarev’s plan is potentially dangerous for both the United States and Ukraine. A central precept of Ukraine’s resistance to Russia’s invasion, after all, is that countries shouldn’t send military forces across their borders to foment violence.
