A Week of Tumultuous Diplomacy Leaves Ukraine Virtually Where It Started.

  • Ukraine and Russia reached three conclusions this week involving a prisoner swap, scheduling further presidential talks, and drafting ceasefire visions.
  • These events came after Ukraine proposed direct negotiations between President Zelensky and President Putin amid the most significant military conflict in Europe since the mid-20th century.
  • Despite demands from France, Germany, the UK, and Poland in Kyiv for an immediate ceasefire, Russia rejected two proposals but agreed to reconsider them on Friday.
  • French President Emmanuel Macron called Russia's ongoing disregard for a truce unacceptable, while Russia proposed talks in Istanbul with broad demands and refused to yield ground.
  • Diplomacy stalled with Russia amassing forces and no progress expected until US President Trump meets Putin, leaving Ukraine effectively back at zero and a likely summer offensive looming.
