US EditionAfter 4 years of war by Russia in Ukraine, peace is still elusive despite a US push for a settlement
Four years into the war, nearly 1.8 million soldiers are dead, wounded, or missing, while peace talks remain deadlocked over territorial and security demands.
- On Sunday, February 22, 2026, the conflict reached its four-year mark as U.S.-mediated talks remain stalled with a June deadline and U.S. President Donald Trump pressing for a deal, while Putin insists on maximalist terms.

- With sanctions mounting, Russia's economy shows signs of strain, but Russian defense plants have increased weapons output while NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte called Moscow's advance `the speed of a garden snail` this month.
